  1. A study on measuring the Effectiveness of using PowerPoint as a sole tool to educate Allied HealthStudents. Professor Kenneth Martinucci

  2. PROBLEM BACKGROUNDRadiologic Technology students are learning less comprehensively because they only study the instructor’s Power Point lesson. They review the material during lecture by observing the power point lesson given by the instructor. They are usually allowed to continually review the PowerPoint material on blackboard, or some media provided by the school they attend. In the process, they do not regularly read the textbook, or seek other learning media.

  3. PROBLEM STATEMENTDoes comprehensive study and lecture for allied healthstudents serve to increase their knowledge vs. students who only study the instructor’s Power Point lessons? Hypothesis: Comprehensive study techniques helps educate students

  4. Target Population: Junior (1st year) allied health students:Radiation TherapyRadiologic TechnologyNuclear Medicine
