Assignment Task
This assessment is worth 70% of the marks for the module.
The assessment will take the form of a pitch presentation and a short abstract summarising the pitch (approx. 150 words). Students will be required to use the World Health Organisation (WHO) Global Health Observatory (GHO - https://www.who.int/data/gho) to identify one major current global public health issue that has data available on the GHO. The topic should be current and relevant to the material covered in this module.
The task is to put together a 20-minute pitch in the form of a PowerPoint pitch presentation for a government or policy official of any country of choice. The main goal of the pitch will be to advocate for the public health issue in order to convince the government official to act e.g., with a public health initiative or policy change.
The presentation must include:
What the issue is that needs to be addressed and some background information.
Why it is important to address this issue and why now.
A data component where some data collected from the WHO GHO is used – e.g., a graph and at least one statistical test.
What could be done to tackle the issue e.g., propose a public health initiative and/or policy change.
Challenges the government official may encounter and how these can be overcome.
Summary of a proposed project plan / public health intervention.
(Presentation: 90 marks (abstract 10 marks, slides: 40 marks, oral presentation: 40 marks))
There will also be a 10-minute Q&A session with a panel following the presentation.
(Q&A: 10 marks) (20 minutes time limit) (No limit on words) (100 marks) (LOs: 1,2,3,4 & 5)

Assessment Criteria (Learning objectives covered - all)
Level 7 is characterised by an expectation of students’ expertise in their specialism. Students are semi-autonomous, demonstrating independence in the negotiation of assessment tasks (including the major project) and the ability to evaluate, challenge, modify and develop theory and practice. Students are expected to demonstrate an ability to isolate and focus on the significant features of problems and to offer synthetic and coherent solutions, with some students producing original or innovative work in their specialism that is potentially worthy of publication by Arden University. A clear appreciation of ethical
considerations (as appropriate) is also a prerequisite.
