Locate three scholarly websites on a topic of your choice. The
topic must be a disease, illness, or medical condition that connects
with the current chapter. One example of a disease that relates to
chapter 15 is glaucoma.
So, for each Connect IT! you will do the following:
Search the Internet and select three ACADEMIC websites that pertain to either:
Your select illness, disease, or medical condition OR
A scientific study that relates to the subject matter of that chapter. You should carefully evaluate the site for its appropriateness to the subject concerning credibility and validity.
Write an
original (cannot copy and paste the content from the website) essay and
include, but not limited to, the disease process, symptoms, diagnoses,
trends in health care, possible genetics, morbidity and mortality, and
case studies.
Your word count will be 500 words (excluding references and in-text citations).
Conclude your thoughts by commenting critically on the relevance of all three websites that were used.
Include your sources as an APA citation (I recommend using: www.easybib.comLinks to an external site. ) Students MUST provide an in-text citation to show which parts of the work are coming from which source.
Lastly, you will submit this
assignment as an upload in any one of the following formats: ppt,
.docx, .pdf, .txt, .rtf, .ppt, and .doc. It is the student’s
responsibility to ensure the correct format. The assignment is attached
to VeriCite which will compute your work’s originality score.
Be mindful
that if your score returns as a yellow or red-colored value, an
automatic zero will be assigned for this work without exception. You
may resubmit a second time with your corrected work before the due date
and time listed on the Course Schedule.
Important Points to Note:
Websites such as Wikipedia.com, Buzzle.com, khanacademy.org,
Scholarpedia.com, and YouTube.com are NOT acceptable for this
assignment.
Any violation of the Student Ethics Policy will result in disciplinary action as per the course syllabus.
You may only review a particular topic ONCE. Each Connect IT should be over a different topic that pertains to that module.
