Description
Looking for assistance in writing a paper. I would like for the paper to be on polycystic kidney disease but I am open to changing that to any genetic disorder if it makes it more easier.
Here is the information for the Final Project due 10 Oct by Midnight EST. At least a rough draft of this needs to be submitted by that date.
Then, submit a 750-1,250 word paper (approximately 3-5 pages, not including the title page and reference list) focused on a genetic disorder/disease of your choice. It can be a topic explored in the textbook or one you have discovered through your own outside research.
Please make sure your final paper includes an analysis of all of the following:
- Description and symptoms of the disease/disorder
- Treatments
- Molecular basis of the disease
- Prevalence
Your final paper must include:
- A title page and abstract in APA format
- An introductory paragraph that summarizes the genetic disease/disorder and offers a thesis statement which goes beyond a simple description of the disease/disorder
- Body paragraphs that include evidence from at least two outside scholarly sources such as a peer-reviewed science journal article or e-book from the Excelsior Library. You should not use non-scholarly sources like popular news articles or internet sites. You may also use your textbook and other assigned sources from the course as background information in addition to your two outside sources, but all must be properly cited
- APA style (Links to an external site.) in-text citations and reference list
- A conclusion which reiterates your thesis statement and offers some concluding thoughts
- Proper grammar, spelling, syntax, and formatting
- Consult the following OWLResources for help:
Compose your work in a .doc or .docx file type using a word processor (such as Microsoft Word, etc.) and save it frequently to your computer. For those assignments that are not written essays and require uploading images or PowerPoint slides, please follow uploading guidelines provided by your instructor.
