You just need to finish the part3 ( you already done part 1 and 2 last time, just ignore them)“Health Abroad” Poster Activity (Individual Paper + Group Poster + Comments on Other Posters: The Health Abroad poster activity is worth 60 points (30% of your grade). This activity consists of three parts.Part 1: Individual Part: Each student will write a 8-page (double-spaced, Arial 12-point font, 1-inch margins) paper about the assigned topic. You can earn up to 40 points for this part of the assignment. These points are individual to each student and can differ between members of a group. You can find more detailed information about this assignment in the attachment to this syllabus. Two points will be deducted for every day the paper is submitted late. Part 2: Group Poster: Students will form groups consisting of three to five students and create a poster on a health-related topic assigned by the instructor. You can earn 10 points for this part of the assignment. These points are group points and are the same for each member of the group. Points for the group poster follow a completion grade model – if a poster is of passing quality (C or above), every group member will receive 10 points. If the paper is not of passing quality (C- or below), every group member will receive 0 points. This means that each group member is responsible for the poster in its entirety. 2 points will be deducted for every day the poster is submitted late.Part 3: Poster comments: Once posters are available on the course website, you will comment on TWO other groups’ posters (you cannot leave a comment on your own poster for credit). Each comment has to be at least 100 words long to receive any course credit. The points earned in Part 3 are individual to each student and can differ between members of a group. Late comments will not receive credit. ( you need to separate them, mark each comment with the group)You will find a survey that will allow you to vote for up t

o three posters that you liked the best. You will also need to provide a reason for your vote.Example:( my classmates comment to group Sweden) ( do not copy, no plagiarism)Classmate A:Hello group Sweden! Your poster is clear and easy to understand! Which is great! I like the design of having these information clearly formatted, this will help your audience to understand your poster! I also like the graphs that you use! Using graphs can help your audience clearly and directly know the information that you want to tell. Like how many people are suffering from different diseases, and the distribution of them. Also can help us see the different numbers of different diseases. However, when I see your unique facts, this is the first time that I know about the disease that only happens between children in Sweden. This is the first time I know about it. Anyway, great job!ClassmateB:Halli Stewart- Hi Sweden Group! I really loved the look of your poster. The colors were a great addition to the layout and everything was clear and easy to follow. The addition of the graphs and charts really add to the overall quality of the poster. I found it very interesting that the leading causes of death (Cardiovascular Diseases, Alzheimer’s Disease, and various Cancers) were similar to my country, Italy. This is especially interesting due to the location of our countries. Another interesting aspect of your poster was how you mentioned that there is a ceiling for medical fees and that medical consultations are low cost. This is very similar to Italy- universal coverage and consistently low out of pocket expenses. Additionally, I really liked your unique fact. It, not only, was very unique to Sweden, but is also extremely relevant in terms of health. Overall, your poster is very visually appealing and the content is very interesting. Each section included interesting and relevant information and I loved comparing and contrasting out two countries and their health systems. Well done!
