OVERVIEW
The video assignments in this class are designed to encourage scientific inquiry and literature
review into diseases that arise from altered biochemical pathways or enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
Secondly, they are aimed at helping the student develop capacity for scientific data collation and
communication.
INSTRUCTIONS
You will choose a metabolic disorder from the Module: Week’s readings and submit a detailed
video or PowerPoint with audio presentation on the chosen disorder. You should research the
disease extensively using at least 5 peer-reviewed journal articles or textbooks. Be sure to use the
suggested outline for your presentation. Refer to the grading rubric for a breakdown of the points
allocation. The presentation has a 10 minute time limit. There should be at least 10 citations all
in AMA format.
VIDEO PRESENTATION: DISORDERS OF GLYCOGEN AND FATTY ACID METABOLISM
Using the suggested outline below, give a detailed research presentation on any disorder of
glycogen or fatty acid metabolism of your choice. You should employ scientific
sources/literature including review articles in your research and be sure to use the AMA
format. It should be detailed, comprehensive, well-organized and should have the appropriate
language for scientific communication.
