Health Disparites paper on Obesity and Nutrtion
Your essay can be about any health disparities topic that interests you, however, you must respond to the Course Student Learning Outcomes (CSLOs) indicated above. Your essay must be 5 pages long, double-spaced, 12-point font, and submitted through TurnItIn. The title page and reference page do not count in the five-page writing requirement. You cannot use a paper from a previous class. Check your originality score on turniitin. It may not be higher than 25%. You must write your essay paper about disparities in health. This is important. I will not accept it if it is not written about disparities. Formal APA formatting is required for the writing assignments. You must cite evidence to support the arguments you make, including examples, data, citations and a reference page. If you use quotation marks or quote word for word (verbatim) you must include the page number in your citation. It looks like this (Rathus, 2014, p.45). Do not use et, al. unless you have cited ALL the authors in an earlier citation. The first time you cite the authors, you must list ALL authors. Then if you use the same study you can use et, all. See the link above for more info. The Abstract should use language such as, This paper will examine…or This paper will explore, or In this paper I will discuss…. The abstract should tell the reader what you are going to talk about in your paper. It should be one paragraph and centered on the page. I will mark you down if you do not use the above language in your abstract. Your introduction should be general about your topic. Use citations for this. You will most likely be telling the reader about current statistics and describing or defining your topic. The body of the paper will discuss current research about your topic. What have researchers found about your topic? Three to four research studies is fine for this. Use academic research articles that you can find on our campus library website. Talk to Tricia Lantzy or another research librarian in the campus library for help finding research articles on your topic. The conclusion should use language such as, In conclusion, In sum or Overall, to introduce your reader to the conclusion
