Assignment: Talent Management within the Human Resources Organization PPT

1) Identify a vaccine currently approved in the United States, or currently undergoing clinical trials. For ideas, see the list at CDC  You may choose any vaccine. You may wish to read through the assignment and do a quick search for manufacturing procedures to make sure they are available.

2) Carry out independent research into this vaccine and how it is currently produced. Normally there are papers listed on the clinicaltrials.gov page, or you can search PubMed, the UMGC library or similar services for information. Identify at least one peer-reviewed publication that describes the bioproduction of the therapy. If you are unable to find a description of how the therapy is produced, please go back to step 1 and choose a different vaccine. Not all vaccines are equally well described in the literature. In grading I will take this into account.

3) Prepare an approximately 10 slide presentation (aka Powerpoint ) which briefly reviews the vaccine and manufacturing process. The slide show should be designed as if you were giving at 10-15 minute presentation to class regarding your topic.

The presentation should contain:

• Introduction (description of your vaccine and intended recipient)
• Type of vaccine & manufacturer.
• Market size of the vaccine. Amount of sales/profit made each year.
• Manufacturing process for this vaccine. How is it made?
• Timeline for manufacturing process.
• Distribution, dosage schedule of the vaccine.
• Success of this vaccine. Does it work?
• Identify laws, regulations, and or statutes that apply to this product (if any)
• Conclusion
• References (not included in page count)

4) Prepare a “Talking points” document or use the “comments” section of the Powerpoint slide to describe the words you would say if you were giving this talk to class. This could be word-for-word of what you would speak to class, or bullet points of what you would say out loud when giving this presentation. The talking points are like making 3 x 5 cards to hold in your hand when giving a talk. What I recommend is that you write down word-for-word the first sentence of what you want to say when that slide is showing, and then you have bullet points for the main points you will make on the slide. Since I am always nervous when giving a talk, I like to memorize the first sentence, if I am standing in front of an audience and my mind blanks out, I can look down to the “talking point” and start with the first sentence, that gets me going and I remember the rest. You don’t want to recite a memorized script when giving a talk as it comes off poorly to the audience.

A Note about Powerpoint slides. The reason I want you to add talking points to your slide deck (either in the comments section or separately) is because I would like you to make your slides as if you were actually giving a real talk on this topic. Generally, when I see Powerpoint assignments, students are tempted to put way too much text on the slide because they are trying to tell the instructor what they would say audibly during the presentation. In a real situation you want your slides to be sparsely worded and mostly figures & bullet points (not complete paragraphs or sentences). You should communicate to your audience verbally, not through written text on a slide. As a general rule a slide should have about 3 bullet points of 5 words each of text on a slide.

5. Remember, this is a visual presentation. Include figures, graphics or other visuals in your slide deck. At least 80% of your slides must have a graphic on them. (picture, chart, etc). Points will be deducted if your slides are just black-and-white text.

Grading Rubric

What: 1 slide presentation posted posted in your Assignments Folder. The slide presentation should be of about 10 slides and contain ‘talking points’ either embedded in the comments section of each slide, or attached as a separate document. File(s) can be either Microsoft Powerpoint, Word or a PDF file.

Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!
