What you’re doing:
You are completing section 5 (Informational Piece) of your course project. You are also compiling all elements of your course project and submitting them.
What you need to know:
Your informational piece can take the form of a video public service announcement (PSA), infographic, or fact sheet.
For a Factsheet, a simple Word Document will suffice, but you have to style it and organize the information with the audience in mind. A wall of text is not going to effectively communicate the information to a lay audience. Make it digestible and engaging.
For an infographic, we recommend using Adobe Express . Follow that link for instructions on creating and posting an infographic.
For a PSA (video), use Canvas Studio to record yourself and request captions. For assistance, see these instructions on Screen Capture .
Refer to the Course Project Overview for more context.
Instructions:
Section 5: Informational Piece
Your information piece will be posted on the clinic’s website and Facebook page. If you choose to do a PSA, it should be no longer than three minutes, and you should use slides to support what you say. An infographic or fact sheet should be no longer than one page. Key points must include:
The agent
The agent’s ability to infect animals and humans
Signs of infection
Modes of transmission
Reasonable and effective measures to prevent disease spread
To other animals of the same species
To other animals of different species
To humans
The information must be succinct, with correct grammar, complete sentences, and language appropriate for the general public. Key points should include a description of the agent, symptoms in animals and humans, source of infection and transmission, and prevention techniques.
Submission Requirements
Along with Section 5, please combine all of what you created for Sections 1-4 and submit them here once more. Follow the previous submission guidelines for length and be sure to identify and address each topic. The report should be double-spaced using a 12 pt. Times New Roman font or 11 pt. Calibri font. Your final submission should incorporate modifications based on feedback given for sections 1-4. A complete reference page must be included with the final submission. References can be combined into one reference page and do not count toward the overall page limit. The document name of the final project submission should be LASTNAME_FinalProject. If your section 3 diagram and/or section 5 information piece cannot be included in the word document, submit them as separate sections with the document named as LASTNAME_Section#.
Please be sure to use proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Your responses must be clear and accurate using complete sentences. As with all your work in this course, be sure to cite your sources in APA format within your document and on a separate reference page.
