HOSPICE ASSIGNMENT: HOSPICE CARE
OBJECTIVE: Develop an understanding of the history of Hospice and the services they have to offer at the end of life in comparison to other alternatives.
Students will write a short research paper on an aspect of Hospice. They will have already chosen a topic about Hospice to write about (see week 4). All students will also include some research on how other countries address the topic they are writing on – do they have Hospice, do the families take care of things, is there some other service, etc.
After choosing which topic you want to write on you will go to the discussion forum and identify the one you picked as only one student will write on each topic – so once someone has chosen a topic it is no longer available as a choice. You can start choosing at the beginning of class through Saturday, July 1.
Requirements of the Hospice Assignment:
Choose your topic.
Identify which topic you choose in the discussion forum.
Your paper needs:
1. A title page.
2. An abstract.
3. Give information and history that is specific and thoroughly covers the topic you chose with relevant research.
4. Give information on how your topic fits into the total “hospice puzzle”.
5. Include information comparing/contrasting how at least 3 other countries address the topic you chose.
6. Concluding remarks.
7. Paragraph on something you specifically took away from the assignment as well as YOUR PERSONAL thoughts and feelings as you worked on this assignment. This is not a summary, it doesn’t have research, it is just how the assignment made you feel and what it made you think about.
8. A reference page (references are flush with the left margin with second/third lines indented). Must correctly cite references within the paper as this is a research paper, not an opinion paper. References only include sources you cited. You should have at least 3 references.
Please make sure your paper is succinct as you will be posting your paper to the discussion forum for your peers to review and comment on. Your paper must be in APA format, 12-point font Times New Roman and double-spaced. You have a 2200-word limit maximum which you cannot exceed.
Be sure you meet the requirements of the Scoring Rubric for the Hospice Assignment found in the General Section.
The Hospice Assignment is due Saturday, July 15 at 11:55 pm CST. You will SUBMIT it to the PROFESSOR and POST it to the Discussion Forum at the same time. You will comment on each student’s assignment. Read each posted assignment and write a brief comment (a sentence or 2) in the discussion forum about one thing you learned from each student’s assignment by Saturday, July 22. The purpose of this part of the assignment is to give you the whole picture of hospice. It is like each of you is creating a piece of the puzzle and now all of you are putting your pieces together so you can see what the whole puzzle looks like. 80% of your grade will come from your paper and 20% from your comments on the other students’ papers. Your grade for the Hospice Assignment will be averaged with your grade on the Aging Guidance and Resource Booklet and will count as 35% of your grade.
See the websites below for help with APA format for citations, references, and papers written in APA format with the title page, citations, references, etc.
