Investigate and summarize current research into a specific disease.

TOPIC:

Some topics have much more research than others. It’s important to pick a topic that interests you, so you’ll be more motivated to do the research on the topic. You may want to do a little research to see how well it’s been researched. Because topics like cancer are so well researched, you’ll need to narrow it down to a specific type of cancer; otherwise, there will be too much information for a 3-5 page paper.

LITERATURE/RESEARCH:

You should have at least four sources and none of those can be an internet site. Two of the four sources must come from peer-reviewed journals. You will be allowed to use internet sites, but they will NOT count toward the total. Every source listed in your Literature Cited section MUST be cited in the text of your paper. Encyclopedias should not be used as a source. While 4 sources is the minimum requirement, it is not the maximum. Include as many sources as you need to thoroughly discuss your topic.

FORMAT: The paper should include the following sections: Title page, Introduction,
Discussion, Conclusion, and Literature Cited.
TITLE PAGE: The title should be descriptive of your paper. The title should include more than just the name of the disease; be creative. Below the title you should have your name.

INTRODUCTION: Start with the following section heading: Introduction. The introduction should be about 1 page long, maximum 1.5 pages. This is where you introduce the disease you have chosen providing background information. Some questions you can address include: When was the disease discovered? Who discovered it? What are the symptoms? How many people are affected? You should have at least one citation in the Introduction. Your introduction should end with your thesis/purpose statement. This is where you explain why you are writing this paper – what is the point of your paper?

DISCUSSION: Start with the following section heading: Discussion. The discussion is the
focus of the paper and should be a minimum of 2 pages. This is where you will discuss the current status of research for the disease. You will need to read through the scientific literature and summarize what has been found. You should have at least 3 citations in the Discussion.
Some questions to address include: Are there any genes linked to this disease? What are the current treatments for this disease? What new treatments are in trial or currently being used?

CONCLUSION: Start with the following section heading: Conclusion. The conclusion should be at least one paragraph. The conclusion summarizes the information in the paper. Do not rewrite your Discussion, but mention the key findings from your research into the disease. You can wrap up with a statement or two explaining the future of the disease – Are there areas that need further study? Are there things standing in the way of making progress fighting the disease? etc.

LITERATURE CITED: Start with the following section heading: Literature Cited.
Everything cited in the paper must be listed in this section. Also, everything listed in this section must be cited in the paper. List citations in alphabetical order. Provide the names of all authors.
