Complex Mental Health & Recovery
TUTORIAL PRESENTATION INFORMATION:
 You are required to deliver a presentation to the class on One of the following:
o [i] A discussion on the relevance of your topic for Mental Health Nursing.
o [ii] A short critique of the most useful 1‐2 pieces of literature used in your
research [this again must relate to contemporary Mental Health Nursing].
 Presentation Topics will be chosen in your Week 1 tutorial class; there will be no
class in Week 2 and then presentations will commence in Week 3 of semester. If
you do not attend the Week 1 class a topic will be chosen for you by the Course
Coordinator (students on clinical will be allowed to select a proxy to choose their
topic in Week 1).
 Please note that you need to develop and present your information in a manner
that is engaging and interesting to the class.
 Simply reading out large sections of pre‐written notes without regular adlib
commentary or discussion is not acceptable and will result in a lower grade being
awarded as you have not fulfilled the core requirements of the assessment.
 Your presentation will need to run for 10 minutes plus an additional 5 minutes
allocated for question and answer time [total 15 minutes].
 You will need to have a plan to lead the question time section of the presentation
as this will be included as part of your grade.
 Utilise a clear presentation plan / dot points.
 Utilise signposts & information provided by Presentation Marking Guide / Rubric.
 Research tips for effective presenting skills online (there are a lot!).

 PowerPoint / Computer Projector will not be available to use in your presentation.
 Be creative; if unsure about the suitability of an idea for your presentation please
email your tutor regarding your ideas to discuss this further.
 You must provide a Bibliography (in APA 6th edition format) to your Tutor before
commencing your presentation.
o This is a bibliography so you can include anything you read in
preparing your presentation (which is more than what you might
expect to see cited in a reference list).
o Do not include reference to the NURS2098 lecture notes or to
Wikipedia: these will NOT be considered.
o You need to use contemporary literature (last 5‐7 years) from journals,
books and Government web pages that is relevant and trustworthy.
o If you do not present the list to your Tutor before commencing your
presentation you will receive 0/4 for this section and the rest of your
presentation will be marked down as you have not supported your
work with an evidence base.
o Any list that is not in APA 6th edition format will score a maximum of
1/4.
