NEURO 201 Group Presentation Guidelines
Students will work in a group to develop a 15-minute presentation on a disease of the
nervous system based on the list below. Multiple groups can select the same topic, but
should work independently with their own groups to submit their recorded presentation.
This project will require time outside of the classroom, so plan accordingly with your
group. You may choose to meet at a set time using Zoom, or collaborate by email with
your group to work together on the presentation. All presentations must be recorded and
submitted to Canvas no later than
Midnight on November 18

.
Every member is expected to contribute equally in the preparation and in the
presentation. In order to make sure this happens, adapt a list of tasks and assign each
one to a member of the group with a deadline. Also outline which parts of the
presentation each member will present. Be strict with your deadlines to respect your
peers. If you are having significant problems with a group member, please reach out to
the instructor for guidance.
Students will be graded based on the rubric below. While one person in the group may
cover one area, and another cover a different area, the individual student will be graded
based on their mastery of the topic and confidence in presenting. Therefore, it is
imperative that all students work together to make sure that the slides presented cover
all of the necessary components described below.
The presentation should provide an overview of the neuroscience behind the disorder
and relate it to material learned during the course to describe in depth the mechanisms
known about the cause of the disorder and treatments available. Be creative and have
fun!

Group Presentation Grading Rubric
Background of the Topic:
Details on the history of the topic are introduced in a logical
order providing a condensed but detailed overview. The information provided makes sense
based on the topic chosen and further neuroscience discussed. Students should be able to
follow the presentation and understand the topic based on the background.

Expectations
Underlying Neuroscience:
Known mechanisms of the disorder and treatment options
from research should be provided. This may overlap with the background information. Be
sure to explain the theories if there are no exact mechanisms (there likely are not), and try
to use this as a way to link the topic to what has been learned throughout the semester.

Linked to Course Material:
The course material should be brought up throughout the
entire presentation. You don’t need to define every detail, but explain it as if you are
presenting to someone who has never taken a neuroscience course before. Perhaps you’ll
need to explain synaptic transmission, action potentials or pharmacology of a receptor in
order to teach about your topic’s mechanisms.

Organization and Flow of the Presentation:
The presentation should move in a logical
order that is easy to follow and flows well. The content should be delivered in a way that is
not confusing and any background information is well explained before moving on to more
complex concepts. It should be professional and practiced with a slow and steady pace.

Mastery of the Subject and Confidence in Presentation:
Each group member is
expected to participate and present a portion of the presentation. This part of the grading
rubric is based on the individual student.
Practice to feel comfortable and confident so that
it is clear that you have a strong understanding of the content. Groups are encouraged to
run through their presentation together at least once to ensure everyone is comfortable and
the timing is within limits (15 minutes +/- 2 minutes)
