Instructions: This is part 1 of your final research paper. You will complete this for a grade and incorporate your instructor's feedback into research paper part 2 (Module 4) and the final research paper (Module 6), which build off of each other. For the assignment, your instructor will provide you with a list of 10 diseases that affect at least one of the organ systems covered in the course. You will pick one disease to research including the main organ system(s) affected by the disease. In your short write-up (approximately 1-2 pages), include the following: Coronary Artery Disease Complete and detailed descriptions of the disease. Complete and detailed descriptions of the organ system that is directly impacted by the disease. Include at least one peer-reviewed source and at least two other credible sources.

Information provided gained from relevant cited literature. 15 pts Approaching Mastery Paper gives adequate descriptions of organ system including organs, tissues, and cell populations involved, primary functions, and connections to other body systems. Information provided gained from relevant cited literature. 12 pts Proficient Paper gives some descriptions of organ system including organs, tissues, and cell populations involved, primary functions, and connections to other body systems. Information incomplete. Information provided largely supported by cited literature. 8 pts Needs Improvement Paper provides inadequate or incorrect information regarding organ system including organs, tissues, and cell populations involved, primary functions, and connections to other body systems. Information incomplete and largely unsupported by cited literature. 4 pts No Submission Student did not submit. 0 pts /15 pts Understanding of Disease Mastery Paper gives complete and detailed descriptions the disease, its effect on the organ system(s) involved, history, signs, symptoms, epidemiology, and prognosis. Information provided gained from relevant cited literature. 15 pts Approaching Mastery Paper gives adequate descriptions the disease, its effect on the organ system(s) involved, history, signs, symptoms, epidemiology, and prognosis. Information provided gained from relevant cited literature. 12 pts Proficient Paper gives some descriptions the disease, its effect on the organ system(s) involved, history, signs, symptoms, epidemiology, and prognosis. Information incomplete. Information provided largely supported by cited literature. 8 pts Needs Improvement Paper provides inadequate or incorrect information regarding the disease, its effect on the organ system(s) involved, history, signs, symptoms, epidemiology, and prognosis. Information incomplete and largely unsupported by cited literature. 4 pts No Submission Student did not submit. 0 pts /15 pts Use of Sources Mastery Includes at least one peer‑reviewed source and two or more additional credible sources. Sources are relevant, high‑quality, and clearly support scientific claims. 10 pts Approaching Mastery Includes one peer‑reviewed source and two credible sources, though some sources may be less directly relevant or weakly integrated. 8 pts Proficient Includes either the peer‑reviewed source or two credible sources, but not both, or relies on sources of mixed credibility. 6 pts Needs Improvement Sources are largely non‑credible (e.g., blogs, opinion sites), or fewer than two total sources are used. 3 pts No Submission Student did not submit. 0 pts /10 pts APA Citation Exemplary All sources are accurately cited in proper APA format (in‑text citations and reference list). Formatting is consistent and error‑free. 5 pts Proficient APA citation is mostly correct with minor formatting errors (e.g., punctuation, italics). Sources are clearly identifiable. 4 pts Developing APA citation is incomplete or inconsistent. Several errors present, or missing either in‑text citations or reference entries. 3 pts Beginning Attempted citation but major APA errors obscure source details, or citations are incorrectly formatted throughout. 2 pts No Citations/Submission No citations provided or no submission. 0 pts /5 pts Grammar and Mechanics Exemplary Writing is clear, polished, and professional with no grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors. 5 pts Proficient Writing is generally clear with minor errors that do not interfere with readability or meaning. 4 pts Developing Frequent grammatical or mechanical errors that occasionally interfere with clarity. 3 pts Beginning Persistent errors that significantly affect readability and comprehension. 2 pts No Submission Student did not submit. 0 pts /5
