Goal: The goal of this assignment is to synthesize and apply content you are learning in this course. Background: Previously, you selected a body system as noted below: CARDIOLOGY / CONGENITAL HEART DIEASE You then drafted an outline, using resources, and selected a specific health disorder from the body system you chose. Task: Using Microsoft Word or Google Docs (or a word processor of your choice), use your outline to create your title page, introduction, and References page using correct APA 7 format. Your introduction should implement the third person point of view. You will only upload or provide a link to the following: Introduction with thesis statement Reference page with sources used in introduction You must provide at least three peer-reviewed articles published within the past five years, and you must include at least five references total (some articles are scholarly and not necessarily peer-reviewed.) If you need assistance understanding how to find peer-reviewed resources, please consult the resources located in the Welcome module. All resources listed on the References page should be formatted using correct APA 7 style. All references must be published within the past five years, unless citing seminal work. Turnitin This assignment requires you to submit your paper to Turnitin -an online plagiarism checker tool prior to submitting. This tool offers immediate feedback and will help you to become a stronger writer. Please only submit part 1 of your academic paper to Turnitin. After submitting your work to Turnitin, you should receive a Turnitin Similarity Report. This report highlights areas where text matches other sources. It is your responsibility to review this report and ensure that any matching content is appropriately cited and referenced. The acceptable score is less than 20%. I recommended you submit early to allow yourself time for revisions prior to the assignment being due. Any overt use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will not be accepted and may result in a failing grade! Your Turnitin score must also be less than 20%. *You do not need to go outside the Canvas assignment for Turnitin. You simply submit/upload your work as you normally would, and Turnitin will do the rest without any additional steps from you.
