They are small, 1/2 the size of your regular font for the slide content and are usually placed immediately below an image and after the wording from a source's text.The kind you see beside photos in magazines. o Just like page citations in a paper, each slide's content should be properly cited too. o All sources, images, or text, should have a References entry prepared for that type of source. o See the provided APA manual in Course Documents to determine that entry content. Those charts are on pages 443-444. o BOTH online images and source text need to be cited in the same References slide(s) and in alphabetical order, just like a References page in a paper. o Do not make a separate References section; both the text and image sources are in alpha order in the same References slide(s) in the same indents and formatting you used in this class all term. o You CAN use the Gerald information, but you are required to find scholarly sources in addition to the course text for this project. o Find at least one scholarly article and one print source in addition to any course materials provided on Bb. o Presentations that only use the Gerald text will score a D or lower grade. When choosing images, backgrounds, and font sizes/styles/colors, keep in mind that this project is going to be viewed on a computer screen • Consider this when selecting images or how much text can really fit on a slide and still be readable • Put human figures in positions where they are looking at the page content, not looking off the page, as that draws the viewer's attention away from your slide. • If you find yourself reducing the font size of the main text, it may be time to add another slide instead. • When you use an image, be sure that you do not try to enlarge or reduce it beyond its original size or you will end up with fuzzy, blurred images in your presentation • Some scholarly, especially museum sources for images offer smaller thumbnail as well as larger full size images so click around to find the best version Final Considerations: • A URL address alone is NEVER suitable for either an in-text citation or a References page entry in any academic style. It is also a fast way to drop points. • Your References page is the last thing the grader sees before deciding on your score. It should be accurate and loaded with quality sources and entries. o Your PowerPoint file MUST be saved as a PDF before uploading the file for grading o If the file is too large and you do not want to cut material (this happens with large images), then break it into two files and post them with Part One/Part Two file names Objective: This assignment helps to enrich your understanding of the very earliest forms of medicines that our current knowledge is based upon. Keep your focus on the ancient or early period when the drug was developed and first used.
