In this Revision, along with improving the work from Week 9, you will ALSO be incorporating new material from weeks 10–12 (thus the extended length). We will be looking for references (with citation) to two concepts from those weeks and how they further the implications of your analysis. How does our consideration of Time and Illness add another layer to your understanding of the role of Medical Humanities in the disruption of scientific determinism in medical practice?
This is not another case study to be analyzed. Rather this consideration should be a part of your concluding paragraphs.
How to think about this revision
This assignment provides the space to practice re-seeing your work after you have had some distance and a reader. Whatever writing you will do, whether it’s a grant proposal, case summary, job application, syllabus, or novel, you will have a reader that will give you insights into what you may have missed.
Again, in doing this assignment, you should consider ALL of comments. AND this is a stand-alone assessment and is not connected to the grade the essay received initially. That means, even if you received a high grade on the essay, you must show revision in this assignment to fulfill the revision grade column and receive those 100 points.
These are the main points that you need to revise in the essay. 1) This essay needs to provide a clear definition of the medical humanities. You gesture at it, but what method unifies the medical humanities? How are we supposed to understand it? Why is it signfiicant? 2) You do a good job situating some of the course texts in terms of the arguments they make, but your revision should say how they demonstrate what the medical humanities is. 3) Your interview needs more intentional engagement. Specific citations about specific issues. This is a moment where you are doing the work of the medical humanities. How can you situate your interview to the definition you’re putting forward?
