Learning Goal: I’m working on a health & medical question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
Write a paper about your chosen topic.
- Your paper should consist of a title page, introduction, several paragraphs addressing the questions for your chosen topic, conclusion, and references.
- The outline you wrote in step 1 should be your starting point, but you can make edits to the topics and details you include, and the organization of the content. Take advantage of any feedback received.
- Your paper should be 750-1500 words, excluding references and the title page.
- Use a minimum of three (3) reliable information sources. These may or may not be the same resources that you found in step 1 of this assignment.
- The majority of your paper should be written in your own words, in your own writing style and structure, and fully paraphrasing information from the selected information sources (just changing a few words in a sentence is not enough). Your paper should consist of less than 10% direct quotes. Quotation marks must be used at the start and end of a direct quote, followed by an in-text citation. When paraphrasing, you should also use text citations to acknowledge the source.
- A list of references in APA format should be included at the end.
