Research paper
Once you have identified your three (or more) resources, you will write a paper using your proper resources. The written work should be your own, not copied from the articles. Do not plagiarize sections of the articles – you must give credit to the author if you use any of his/her work in your summary. Summarize the parts of the articles that relate directly to your topic in a 3-5 pagetyped report. (Use 12-point type and 1-inch margins.) You may include information about why you chose this particular topic, compare or contrast the articles, and tell how the topic relates to the lab. If describing a disease state, outline your paper to indicate disease symptoms, laboratory testing associated, and possible treatment or outcomes. Include an APA title page and attach a bibliography of your sources. Please note that the 3-5 page requirement does not include your title or bibliography pages. Please note that this paper does not require an abstract.
