Choose a topic for your course project and post to the Discussion below. Be sure that you choose a sound, strong, scientific disease/condition (Pathophysiology) & treatments (Pharmocology) to research. Remember, the purpose of the project is not to repeat basic information about the topic, but to do some outside research and discuss it from a specific angle, so as to gain a deeper understanding of it. Ask yourself, “Is there known research and collected data about my topic?”  Also, make sure that you present your topic in question format.  For example:  “What are the 3 major differences between Type I and Type II diabetes?  Does this disease have known treatments?” See the Course Project Overview in Introduction and Resources for complete details.

BIOS 267 Week 6 Endocrine System, Nervous System, and Psychiatric Disorders

WEEK 6 IS DIABETES HEREDITARY?

A prevalent hormonal/blood glucose level condition is Diabetes Mellitus. One often reads that Diabetes Mellitus Type II is hereditary because it tends to run in families. However, unless one can point to a “diabetes gene” that can be inherited, the question remains an open one. What are the risk factors for DMII? Compare/contrast Diabetes Mellitus Type I to Diabetes Mellitus Type II at the cellular and chemical levels. Can you see any reason/explanation why members of the same family might be more prone to developing this disease, even if it is not hereditary? Please include APA citations for any sources used.

WEEK 6 COURSE PROJECT PEER REVIEW DISCUSSION

Submit a draft of your narrated Course Project Presentation into the week 6 Course Project Peer Review Discussion.

Tips for creating the narration in your PowerPoint presentation:

• AFTER you build your side show and save as a .pptx file, you will then record over those slides using the slide show button at top/scroll to “record slide show”.

• Click on Start Recording, and use arrows to move slides at your own pace, narrating when appropriate.
• When you are done, be sure to save the document and attach to your Discussion.

Everyone is required to view 3 presentations, other than their own, and provide thorough feedback. Be sure to mention 2-3 strengths of the PowerPoint as well as 2-3 areas where they can improve to make their Project stronger, clearer, and more educationally valuable. Simply stating, “Nice job, well done” is not sufficient.
