Instructions
Course Project Assignment #2: Outline
For this assignment, you will use the “Medical Disease/Condition” you chose for the Week 2 Mini-Presentation. – Long QT Syndrome In Women
Objective: Organize your thoughts and the main points of your research for your Final Presentation.
Before You Start:
To prepare for this assignment, I recommend that you do the following:
Read these directions carefully
Review the Purdue OWL’s Guide to Developing an Alphanumeric Outline and the sample Biology* (NOT A&P) Outline. *use the instructions below regarding the required content specific to this BIOL181 A&P course.
Use your own words (paraphrase). For help with paraphrasing.
Note that your Turnitin report similarity score should be under 20% (not including references) and free of paraphrasing issues.
Note that less than 10% of your work should contain direct quotes.
The Outline Format: Your Outline must be formatted as described and demonstrated by the example linked above – an alphanumeric outline created with MS Word saved as a .doc or .docx file type only. Please note that this format will be assessed in your grade:
Use an alphanumeric sequence
Sections should be indented and aligned
Follow the suggested order of the required topics/subtopics
Use brief but detailed and descriptive phrases (e.g., pain and stiffness in joints, decreased range of motion, swelling, tenderness)
The Outline Content: Your Outline should contain the following topics/subtopics in this order. Also, remember that your Final Presentation (Assignment #3) should only be 10-15 slides, so you need to be concise and clear with your information.
I. Introduction Section – this section must contain the following:
A. Topic selection and reason for selecting
B. Thoroughly define the disease/condition
C. History of the disease/condition
D. Relevant image of the disease/condition
II. Content Sections – this section must contain the following four main topics (the subtopics are recommendations to use if appropriate to your disease/condition):
A. Statistics/Epidemiology
1. Statistical prevalence (e.g., overall, gender, age)
2. Types of determinants (e.g., risk factors)
B. Costs
1. Costs to the individual/family (e.g., mental, physical, emotional)
2. Possible costs to society (dollar figures)
3. Loss of productivity in the workforce
C. Anatomy & Physiology/Etiology
1. Which parts of the body are affected [e.g., tissue(s), organ(s), and/or organ system(s)]
2. Description of the normal structure and function of affected body parts
3. How the disease/condition changes the normal structure and function of affected body parts
4. Cause(s) of the disease/condition
D. Diagnosis/Treatments/Prognosis
1. How this disease/condition is diagnosed (e.g., history, exam, diagnostic imaging, labs)
2. How the disease/condition is treated (e.g., traditional medical treatments, alternative methods of treatment)
3. The prediction (prognosis) of this disease/condition’s outcome (e.g., life expectancy, if treated, vs. untreated)
III. Conclusion Slide – this section must contain four to six bulleted points that sum up all of the main topics/subtopics (statistics/epidemiology, costs, anatomy & physiology/etiology, diagnosis/treatments/prognosis) from the body of your presentation.
IV. Reference Section
Include a final “References” list of a minimum of five (and no more than 10) academically and scientifically credible sources used for facts shared in your Outline. (Not including images or other media.)
Include a final “Media References” list of all images, videos, graphs, audio elements, etc., that you want to use within your Outline.
All references included in the reference lists should be cited internally within the Outline and vice versa.

Important Note: APUS discourages the use of auto-citation tools (e.g., citation generators) by students enrolled in 100- and 200-level courses because the University believes students need to learn and understand the reasons for citing sources used in their work, as well as how to cite sources correctly.
