Browse “My Course Content” on the Course Menu, links from the syllabus or any reference, book, website or an article you like pertaining to History of Medicine.
Next pick five (5) subjects you find most interesting. You can choose any subject matter you want that has to do with the HISTORICAL accounts of something significant in US medicine or science. A treatment, a law, a famous inventor, surgical procedure, etc. BUT YOU MUST PICK A SUBJECT THAT YOU DID NOT WRITE AN ESSAY ABOUT FOR THE ASSIGNMENTS IN THIS COURSE!!
You will write two pages, double-spaced, in standard text, on each subject you choose. You must include the following as per the grade rubric:
1. An APA formatted Title Page (only one, not one for each essay)
2. Pick 5 subjects. Organize your paper by using a LEVEL 1 HEADINGS at the start of each essay: the internet address of your website or article is a good way to do this OR the title of your topic.
3. See the rubric for ideas as to what is included in the content analysis
4. Make sure you use references for any data, numbers, dates, quotes, etc within your essay content.
5. ONE Reference page: A separate page, placed at the end of your paper that includes all the references you cited in each essay as per APA format
Please review the Final Grade Rubric for exact criteria and points assigned to those criteria. If you still are not sure about APA format see the syllabus for websites that will help!
You will post your paper as an attachment in a WORD DOCUMENT on or before the June 23rd, 11PM EST due date. You can turn your paper in at any point during the course but I will NOT accept any papers posted after 11PM EST on the due date. EVEN if it posts ONE minute after 11PM. A “Final Paper Post Board” is provided on the assignment page. I will grade the papers on a first-come, first served basis. PLEASE NOTE: It is your responsibility to check and make sure the paper is actually attached and received in a timely fashion. Again make sure to follow APA format 6th Ed. for the format of your paper, 1 inch margins all around, doubled-spaced text, indent 5 spaces for each new paragraph, etc
