The student shall have broad discretion in choosing a topic to PERSUASIVELY, or ANALYTICALLY write about. Persuasive writing is also known as an argument essay. It utilizes, evidence, logic and reason to show that one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or to take a particular action. The topic should be health care related; however, this can be interpreted on many fronts. It can be based upon a health care law, policy, regulation, guideline, protocol etc. It does not have to necessarily be a controversial topic, however, there must be some controversy surrounding the argument.
Upon choosing your topic, ask yourself, "What am I trying to convey?" "What is the actual issue?" "How should the law/regulation/policy be different?" and "Why?" these will be the foundational questions when formulating your argument. Additionally, you should be asking yourself, "Do I know enough about the topic, or do I need to do more research to convey my thought?"
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
