Overview
Assessment 2 requires students to disseminate findings from their evidence-based practice project through two components:
- Scientific Poster (single PowerPoint slide)
- Oral Poster Presentation (5-minute presentation)
This assessment focuses on demonstrating your ability to summarise evidence, present audit outcomes, and outline clinical implications based on your project.
Assessment Components
Part A: Scientific Poster
Due Date: Wednesday, 29 October (Week 13), 1:00 PM
Submission Format:
- Submit as a PDF via Turnitin
- Poster must be one PowerPoint slide only
Your scientific poster must include the following sections:
- Title
- Author and Affiliation
- Background
- Provide a brief evidence summary related to your project
- Project Aims
- Project Methods
- Results
- May include text, tables, graphs, or other visuals
- Clinical Practice Recommendations
- Hypothetical initiatives informed by evidence and audit findings
- References (Vancouver style)
- Acknowledgements
- Logos
- University of Queensland
- Hospital/Health District/Organisation where the project was conducted
Poster Formatting Tips:
- View sample posters and templates under Assessment on Blackboard
- Use images or colours only if they enhance the content
- Poster may be portrait or landscape
- Use text boxes to organise sections clearly
- Refer to the marking rubric to ensure all criteria are addressed
Oral Poster Presentation
Presentation Dates: Thursday & Friday, Week 13 (30–31 October)
Duration: 5 minutes presentation + question time (total 10 minutes)
Requirements:
- Present your project to your mentor and mentor group on campus
- Your poster will be displayed as you present
- Avoid using notes or palm cards
- You must answer questions related to your poster and project
- A time variation of ±10% is allowed
- Presentations outside this margin incur a 10% penalty
Your presentation should summarise:
- Background and evidence
- Project aims
- Methods used in your audit
- Results and key findings
- Clinical practice implications
Purpose of the Assessment
This task is designed to develop your ability to:
- Communicate evidence-based project findings clearly
- Present audit outcomes and interpret data
- Translate evidence into practice recommendations
- Engage professionally in academic presentations
- Demonstrate understanding of evidence-based practice processes
Use of Artificial Intelligence
This assessment is designed to be authentic, complex, and reflective of real-world professional practice.
Students may use generative AI or machine translation (MT) tools; however:
- AI can only provide limited assistance
- Critical engagement, original analysis, and personal interpretation are essential
- Any use of AI must be appropriately referenced
- Failure to reference AI or MT use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct
If you want, I can also prepare:
- A professionally designed scientific poster layout (content only or full design)
- A 5-minute oral presentation script
- A Vancouver-style reference list based on your topic
- A step-by-step poster content structure with headings and text tailored to your specific project
Summary of Assessment Requirements and Mentoring Approach
Assessment Requirements Overview
The NUMW3101 Evidence-Based Practice Assessment requires students to disseminate the findings of their evidence-based project across two major components:
Scientific Poster
Students must design a single PowerPoint slide scientific poster that presents the core aspects of their project. Key elements include:
- Title, author, and affiliation
- Background (brief evidence summary)
- Project aims
- Project methods
- Results (text, tables, graphs, or visuals)
- Clinical practice recommendations
- References in Vancouver style
- Acknowledgements and required institutional logos
The poster must concisely communicate the project’s purpose, evidence base, process, and implications for practice.
2. Oral Poster Presentation
Students must deliver a five-minute oral presentation summarising their project, followed by a Q&A session. The poster is displayed during the presentation. Students must demonstrate:
- Understanding of evidence-based practice
- Ability to interpret and articulate audit findings
- Confidence in discussing clinical implications
- Professional communication skills
A timing margin of ±10% applies, with penalties for exceeding or falling short of this limit.
