Psychological Disorders Presentation
Objective: Choose one of the disorders below and conduct your own research about the
disorder. Find out what the symptoms are, how it is diagnosed and what types of
treatment are available for patients with the disorder. It will make for a more interesting
presentation if you find out some creative things about the disorder like any famous
people who have had the disorder or what the extreme effects of the disorder can be if it
is not treated. You may want to try and demonstrate what people who have the disorder
see, hear, feel or possibly act like.
You may choose to work in a group or alone but there can be no more than 3
students in a group! All group work must be assigned to an individual and documented
for review. (See me for details before you begin!!!!!!)
Requirements: The goal of this exercise is to present the information you have found to
the class as a Public Service Announcement. This announcement will serve to teach
students about the disorder and forms of treatment. This project will be done using an
online program called PREZI. The presentation must run by its self with voice over, so a
PREZI path must be set ahead of time. You must also include 1 piece of multimedia
(video, TV show, documentary, etc.) that demonstrates something specific about the
disorder. NO HOME MOVIES!!!!! Lastly, the PREZI should be between 3-5 minutes in
length including the multimedia. If you have not used PREZI in the past you may opt to
use PPT but it must have a voice over so that it can run by itself.
Grading: This presentation will count for 50% of your Final Exam Grade. Those
students exempt from the final will still need to complete the project as their final
assessment for the class. Students will be graded based on the clarity of the presentation
as well as the information covered.
It is necessary to include:




The causes
The symptoms
How to diagnose the disorder
What types of treatment are available for patients with the
disorder
 If applicable, any organizations founded to help diagnosis or treat
the disorder
Please be thorough in the explanation of the disorder and the types of treatments
expressed in your presentation. Students will also be judged on their zeal for the topic
and ways they have tried to make their presentations creative and interesting.
