REMEMBER the goal of this Research Paper is for you to research a disease and write about your findings in your own words. 
TOPIC SELECTION & PAPER STRUCTURE:
Topic Selection:
Refer to your Course Calendar for the deadline to submit your topic. If you miss the deadline date your Instructor will assign a topic to you.  Points will be deducted if you do not submit a topic. You may choose a disease that interests you, a disease that might run in your family, or that may have occurred in a friend as long as it is relevant to this course. Parkinsons disease is not an option since a paper with this title is provided for reference. Submit your topic early because topics will not be approved for more than one per student. If you are unsure of your topic, e-mail your Instructor or go online to The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and you will find an alphabetical listing of hundreds of diseases.
Make sure your topic is a disease and not a syndrome or a condition. An example would be Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm is a condition or Downs Syndrome is a syndrome. If you are not sure e-mail your Instructor for clarification.
The paper should include the symptoms, etiology (cause), pathogenesis (course of the disease), risk factors, complications, prognosis, and general treatment for the disease process that you are writing about. The outcome of this paper is to determine that you have acquired a sufficient level of knowledge to communicate within the healthcare industry about things such as epidemiology, pathophysiology of a disease, and the course of a disease and its treatment.
1ST Draft
You may submit your 1st draft of your paper to read and give suggestions.  If you submit a draft follow these instructions:
    Save your draft to your computer (dont save on your phone, if your Instructor cant open it cant be reviewed or graded.)
    Go into Blackboard, Course Content, Research Paper and the icon with the circular red arrow.  DO NOT GO TO THE TURNITIN WEBSITE.
    Put you Name, title of your paper and put draft next to the title.
    You will receive an online receipt for submission.
    You will have access to the similarity report.  Make sure all exact quotes are cited.
    Email your Instructor to alert her that you have submitted a draft for review.
There is also a deadline for this, so again to your Course Calendar.  If a paper is submitted after the draft deadline the Instructor will grade it as final.
