Group Presentations
Purpose of presentations: To provide opportunities for student interactions on topics of interest within the field of sports medicine.
Structure of the presentations: Students are responsible for organizing and facilitating the presentation sessions. Individual groups of students (2-3/group) select a topic or problem on which they wish to focus for a given presentation and select the appropriate research materials which define the topic or problem. Since this course focuses on musculoskeletal systems, most topics on musculoskeletal function/dysfunction relative to sports medicine are acceptable, however, other topics may be equally acceptable. It would be interesting to select topics about which there is controversy in the literature. Names of group members and topics are to be agreed upon with the instructor. In order to organize the presentation schedule, synopses of the proposed topics are to be submitted by the groups to the instructor for approval prior to October 12, 2000. The synopsis should contain a brief review of the research which has helped to formulate the problems or questions associated with the topic and key research papers in the literature. It is recommended to start first by identifying the particular problem or questions related to the subject of interest. It is possible that solutions and answers to such problems and questions are not clear in the literature, but this should not deter researching the topic. The magnitude of studies already completed will vary considerably among the topics chosen. Thus, depending on the problems/questions posed, different strategies to this research review may be used.
Presentation Formats
Two presentation formats are permissible: 1) poster presentation, and 2) Web site presentation.
Poster presentation. In this format, students define, develop and present the topic utilizing text and graphic information. Materials are organized in the form of a poster (~ 3 x 5’ - 4 x 8’) for the purpose of viewing by classmates. After viewing, the authors make a brief (10-15 min.) presentation of the topic using slide/overhead/computer projection to complement the poster.
Web site presentation. In this format, students define, develop and present the topic utilizing text and graphic information. Materials are organized in a Web site format for the purpose of viewing by classmates. The Web site should have sufficient links to graphics, text and/or other Web sites which help to coordinate the presentation. After the presentation has been “published” and classmates have viewed the work, the authors make a brief presentation of the topic using the projected Web site.
