a. The name of the disease or disorder. Some diseases have multiple names that should be included. b. How the disease or disorder affects the individual who has it. c.

Is there something special about this disease that has not been seen with other diseases? f. How many individuals in the population are affected? Provide statistics. g. How did this disease affect you or your family? 2. Make your selection with enough anticipation so you have ample time to research it. I will request you turn in your topic soon. I expect individual papers, no group efforts. 3. Consult with me should you have any problems with your research. The Internet is a good source. There are also books, magazines and other sources that you can use. 4. You must type your term paper. 5. You must include a bibliography with references and it must be properly annotated. If you use material from the Internet, please be sure to provide the web addresses in your bibliography. Any paper turned in without a bibliography is an automatic “F” until the bibliography is received. Be sure to interpret the information you obtain and explain it in your own words, do not commit plagiarism by quoting the author word for word. Do not refer to the reader in your text with terms such as “you” or “your”, keep your prose objective: for example; instead of writing “you will get lung cancer if you smoke”, you should write, “a person can get lung cancer if they smoke”. Keep quotations to a minimum and paraphrase any of them you think are important. 7. Be as thorough as possible with your research.
