Mini Paper

Mini papers are to be between 1 – 2 pages in length.  Please follow the paper assignment guidelines (found in syllabus) on how to format the paper.

Think of an experience (negative or positive) you, a family member, or a friend has had with healthcare.  Gauge the experience against IOM’s six aims, and identify any opportunities for improvement.

Paper guidelines:

  1. Have a cover page with the individual’s name, title of assignment, and due date of assignment
  2. Typed, using 12 point font, Times New Roman
  3. Double spaced with 1” margins all around
  4. Page numbers in the top right corner of all pages except cover page.
  5. Use an APA format for citations and references. Make sure you give proper credit to the sources you are using. Plagiarism will NOT be tolerated.
  6. Have a list of references in correct format at the end of the paper
  7. Be error free – make sure you do a spell-check/grammar-check before submitting!
  8. This is a QUALITY course; therefore, I expect QUALITY work!

Failure to follow these directions (listed in #1-5) will result in an automatic 10 percentage point deduction from the assignment’s total point value.

If your Turnitin score is above a 35%, it will result in an automatic 40-point deduction to your final score. Additionally, the professor will review your Turnitin originality report and if warranted, may require student to re-do their entire paper or specific sections of it.
