Module 1 Evolution,
\nPopulation Genetics, Speciation, and Systematics Assessment Presentation Option<\/span><\/p>\n

For this assessment, you
\nwill apply what you learned during this module to explain population genetics
\nas if you were teaching the concept to a group of high school students.  T<\/span><\/p>\n

You should choose either
\nthis assessment or another module 1 assessment version. You should not complete
\nmore than one. For this assessment, you will apply what you learned during this
\nmodule to explain the concepts as if you were teaching the concept to a group
\nof high school students.  This presentation should include a slide show
\nusing your preferred presentation program (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi,
\netc.) that will be uploaded here as either a url or as a complete file. Please
\nsee the syllabus for instructions on how to download a free copy of Microsoft
\nOffice and how you can record slides using PowerPoint.

\n

\nEvery slide needs to have a relevant image for the topic. The connection
\nbetween the image and the slide should be expressly discussed in the
\npresentation (i.e. this image shows ____ and it connects to the topic because
\n____). Students will only receive credit for the image one time; that is, each
\nslide should have a different image for all the other slides and the same image
\nshould not be used twice. <\/span><\/p>\n

The slides should not
\nhave too many words on them. A maximum of 20 words per slide is a good guide.
\nExcessive words on the slide are both distracting and, recently, have been an
\nindicator of AI generative content. Under no circumstances should entire paragraphs
\nbe put on any given slide. <\/span><\/p>\n

There must be audio of
\nyou presenting the slides. That is, in addition to seeing the slides, your
\nvoice needs to be heard. This could be accomplished by hitting
\n“record” in PowerPoint and submitting the saved raw .pptx file after
\ngiving the presentation or creating a link to a video on YouTube or other
\nstreaming service. Without audio, your presentation will receive a 0.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a reminder, any
\nassignment (including this presentation) that is found to have included content
\ngenerative by ChatGPT or other generative AI platforms will receive a 0 with no
\nchance to redo the assignment. These module presentations are a significant
\nportion of your grade and could result in the loss of an entire letter grade
\nfor the course if you are found to have used generative AI.<\/span><\/p>\n

Importantly, the topics
\nmust be addresses in the correct context (for example, when discussing
\npunctuated equilibrium, it should be about the evolutionary concept and not the
\nchemistry concept).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Covers Chapters 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 and Labs 1-3.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>You will complete a presentation demonstrating your knowledge of
\nthe topics covered. You need all the information required in the rubric of the
\nassignment, including a title page, script, relevant image on each slide,
\nreference page, and voice over.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>The file can be submitted as a raw presentation file (preferably
\nPowerPoint) or a video (.mp4) or a video link (YouTube or other service)<\/span><\/p>\n

In the presentation, you
\nshould have at least one slide for each of the topics in the following outline:<\/span><\/p>\n
