Forensic odontology

Forensic odontology This assessment will require you to select an area of forensic biology of particular interest to you, and to explore the topic critically, providing an informative, standalone powerpoint presentation. This presentation is not to be orally presented in class. It instead is intended as a prospective reference tool for inclusion in a database of online presentations for second year student learning. Therefore, you will be presenting the area in an informative, interesting, interactive and independent way: you need to have enough information present for it to be understandable without oral accompaniment. You may support the presentation with a one page (A4, single-sided) “fact sheet” which provides useful notes or expansion for the reader. You are expected to discuss the use of this forensic biological area in a particular case, with critical discussion of its utility in that context. An important aim of the exercise is to gain practice in the effective communication of ideas and information in PowerPoint format, which is an important generic skill to have. This will be a key consideration in the assessment of the exercise. Teams: The assignment may be undertaken in pairs, or individually. The task: 1. The presentation must be in an area of Forensic Biology. 2. The following elements need to be prepared for submission for assessment. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation on your selected topic. If you work as a pair you may prepare up to 25 slides, plus title slide and references. If you work alone you may prepare 20 slides, plus title slide and references. The presentation needs to have a title slide showing all the authors of the presentation. The presentation must be submitted on CloudDeakin by monday extension compared to unit guide). Only one student of each pair should submit the presentation and fact sheet on CloudDeakin. Each student will be assigned the same mark; therefore, an equal effort is expected. 3. The use of material from lecture Powerpoint slides is limited to one slide of your presentation. It must be essential to your presentation to warrant inclusion. Marking the assignment: Marks will be allocated to include the following criteria: content, critical element, case study, degree of conceptual challenge, clarity of communication of information, imagination and creativity, use of images and diagrams, and production skills.
