Assignment

Writing topic requirements:

1. Your essay should be a minimum of 500 words. Topic MUST be pre-approved by your instructor.

The topic is Fibromyalgia

2.) Your essay should be prepared using Microsoft Word or in Rich Text Format and the spelling and grammar checks should be used. You should also carefully proofread your letter to find errors that the software will not correct. You should use either Times New Roman or Arial font size 11-12 and your response should be double-spaced. If you do not have a home computer or a program that will produce the correct format, computers with Microsoft Word are available in the Cyber Lab or the Learning Lab. If you are unable to come to the campus, most public libraries have computers with a word processing program that will produce the required format.

3.) Your essay should be prepared in paragraph form. The introduction paragraph includes a topic sentence, followed by paragraphs that elaborate different points in support of the topic. Lastly, your paper should have a concluding paragraph that summarizes the topic. Please be sure that you address all parts of the five prompts.

4.) At least 3 references, one of which is a basic textbook (see above). You may also use textbooks from other fields of study, if applicable (nursing, ultrasound, sleep medicine, etc). References must be SCIENTIFIC (ex] not joecool.com or conspiracytheory.net), from non-commercial sources. No "blogs."

5.) Any obvious cheating or plagiarism meant to mislead the instructor will result in a failing grade for the assignment, an academic dishonesty sanctionand the possibility of failing the course.
