Description
Criteria 1 Description of the pathology 2 Normal anatomy of major body system affected 3 Normal physiology of body system affected 4 Mechanism of pathophysiology 5 Prevention 6 Treatment Students will be assigned individual topics related to physiology and pathological conditions of physiological systems. The student will be required to complete criteria 1-6 in a written paper. The paper will be a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 pages long not including a title and reference pages. A minimum of three APA-style references must be included in the paper. There should be an APA-format references page at the end of the presentation. Additionally, in-text citations should be included when appropriate. Reputable resources include peer-reviewed journal articles, textbooks, interviews with clinicians who deal with these pathologies on a daily basis, personal experiences, class lectures, and other scientific sources. The student should use a font size of 12, Times New Roman, and double-spaced throughout. The paper should be written with the text aligned to the left margin with 1” margins. Students should review the information about plagiarism in the Student Catalog. Any copying of information from another source without giving proper credit through a citation will be met with severe consequences. In line with this, however, the entire presentation should not be directly copied from other sources. The student is expected to compose ideas in their own words, and only use text from other sources as a minor supplement. The assignment should be submitted through the Dropbox in Canvas on or before the assigned due date. Refer to the late policy for late submissions.
