For this assignment you will be researching a coagulation disorder of your choice. You will select any disorder we will cover in the course (inherited or acquired, primary or secondary), do research and put together a written report. The report should be 1-2 pages, written in the APA format. Use at least 2 credible resources (one may be the textbook). Check with your instructor or with the writing center here on campus if you aren’t sure if your resource is considered credible!
Please note, you must list your references at the end of the paper AND cite information throughout the paper as appropriate. It is expected that you are paraphrasing all source material into your own words, but that you are still including in-text citations for this information. Please seek assistance from your instructor, the MLT program chair, or the writing center if you have any questions about how to do this!
