Your presentation should not:
-Be of you simply reading from your slides.
-Be packed with so much information on screen that it cannot be easily read or understood in conjunction with the voiceover and video stream of you.
-Last longer than 5 minutes or less than 4 minutes.

-Be made using any other software than that specified.
You must follow the following rules for your presentation:
-Presentation to last no more than 5 minutes
-No more than 6 slides per presentation (this includes any title slide and/or references slide)
-All slides to be clearly and appropriately presented and easily readable – do not overcrowd your slides with words/images, etc.
-Your voice over should add to and explain the content of your slides, not simply be quoting from them verbatim
-Use of colour is permitted and encouraged, but graphs should always be black & white with lines differentiated by using different shape data points and solid or broken lines
-All information you have used for your presentation from sources such as research papers and textbooks should be appropriately cited and referenced in the presentation using either Harvard or Vancouver referencing styles
-Text should be in a sans serif font (e.g. Arial, Calibri) and in sentence case
Your presentation should utilise formal scientific language, with good grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Format and Structure of the Submission:
All slides to include a header or footer with the following information:
Student name, student I.D. number, and student email address
Font: Arial or Calibri
Font Size: Must be easily readable on screen
When planning your presentation you may wish to consider asking yourself questions such as:
-What are circadian rhythms and how are they controlled/regulated?
-Are there any specialised centres responsible for circadian rhythmicity, if so, what and where are they, and how were they identified?
-What is the sleep-wake cycle and how is it controlled/regulated?
-Is regulation endogenous, exogenous, or a mixture of both?
-What are the main triggers (endogenous and/or endogenous) which promote sleep and wakefulness and how are they regulated, detected, and transmitted?
-What examples of a disturbed sleep-wake cycle are there and how does this affect the health and wellbeing of the individual concerned?
-Does the sleep-wake cycle influence recovery from illness and how does, or should, this affect the medical care of patients taking prescribed medications or receiving medical treatment?
Content (80% of presentation mark):
-What are circadian rhythms and the sleep-wake cycle? (16%)
-What endogenous and exogenous factors control and/or affect the sleep-wake cycle? How do they achieve this? (48%)
-What are the potential effects of a disturbed sleep-wake cycle and how might this situation occur? (8%)
-What implications does disturbance of the sleep-wake cycle have in terms of one’s health, disease, and treatment? How could or should this be addressed (give examples)? (8%)
Presentation (20% of presentation mark):
-Clear, easily readable and understandable slides. (3%)
-Clear and understandable voice and video. (3%)
-Appropriate and accurate use of scientific principles and terminology related to the sleep-wake cycle. (5%)
-Clear and appropriate use of sufficient and relevant citations and referencing (Harvard or Vancouver). (4%)
