HLTH 101 Lung Cancer Presentation
Using the PowerPoint presentation and your text, decide on one form of cardiovascular disease OR one form of cancer. Find the information you need about your chosen subject. This information is to be used to write a paper outlining the risk factors involved in your chosen subject, survivability (if cancer, there would be two survivability rates, one being with early detection and one without), preventative measures that may be taken, and treatment of the disease. You must have AT LEAST THREE (3) REFERENCES.
You will compile this information and write a paper that is a minimum of two full pages (600 words minimum) that is outlining all the information listed above. This paper is to be written in the first person, meaning you will write as if you are the person that has the form of cancer/cardiovascular disease and is having to go through treatment. This is to be done in APA style with a cover page and a references page.Remember, you need to have at least three references, but you can have more.Get as many as you need to write a fact filled paper.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
