Reflection Paper: (10 %). You will be required to write a Reflection Paper (3 pages long). Use APA to write the paper. Check due dates in syllabus. Will be submitted via D2L/Assignment/Paper.
General APA Guidelines
Your essay should be typed and double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5" x 11"), with 1" margins on all sides. You should use a clear font that is highly readable. APA recommends using 12 pt. Times New Roman font.
Include a page header (also known as the "running head") at the top of every page. To create a page header/running head, insert page numbers flush right. Then type "TITLE OF YOUR PAPER" in the header flush left using all capital letters. The running head is a shortened version of your paper's title and cannot exceed 50 characters including spacing and punctuation.
Major Paper Sections
Your essay should include four major sections: the Title Page, Abstract, Main Body, and References.
Title Page
The title page should contain the title of the paper, the author's name, and the institutional affiliation. Include the page header (described above) flush left with the page number flush right at the top of the page. Please note that on the title page, your page header/running head should look like this:
Running head: TITLE OF YOUR PAPER
Type your title in upper and lowercase letters centered in the upper half of the page. APA recommends that your title be no more than 12 words in length and that it should not contain abbreviations or words that serve no purpose. Your title may take up one or two lines. All text on the title page, and throughout your paper, should be double-spaced.
Beneath the title, type the author's name: first name, middle initial(s), and last name. Do not use titles (Dr.) or degrees (PhD).
Beneath the author's name, type the institutional affiliation, which should indicate the location where the author(s) conducted the research.
Abstract
Begin a new page. Your abstract page should already include the page header (described above). On the first line of the abstract page, center the word “Abstract” (no bold, formatting, italics, underlining, or quotation marks).
Beginning with the next line, write a concise summary of the key points of your research. (Do not indent.) Your abstract should contain at least your research topic, research questions, participants, methods, results, data analysis, and conclusions. You may also include possible implications of your research and future work you see connected with your findings. Your abstract should be a single paragraph, double-spaced. Your abstract should be between 150 and 250 words.
You may also want to list keywords from your paper in your abstract. To do this, indent as you would if you were starting a new paragraph, type Keywords: (italicized), and then list your keywords. Listing your keywords will help researchers find your work in databases.

The following is the prompt to write the Refection Paper (You need to write about all of them). :
“Many People assume that whether or not they become ill or remain healthy is the luck of the draw. Consider the phrase “being struck by illness”. It implies that illness comes out of the blue. Today, the American Public has been educated and become more aware that behavior can have an effect on the probability of contracting some illnesses.
1. Agree or disagreed with the following statement and use specific examples to support your answer: “Good Health is basically a matter of heredity or good luck. People cannot really do much to enhance their health or pretend illness”.
2. Adele, age 24, was recently diagnosed with cancer. This form of cancer is treatable, requiring several months’ worth of hospital treatments. She feels a great deal of stress from being diagnosed with a life-threatening disease and managing her treatments along with her duties at work. Coping strategies define how people deal with stress. In your opinion, what are several specific steps that Adele can take to effectively manage her levels of distress throughout her course of treatment?
3. Adele’s doctor informs her of the existence of a new experimental drug on the market to treat her disease. The experimental drug has not yet been FDA approved and is undergoing clinical trials with human subjects. Her doctors inform her that she meets the eligibility requirements to enroll in the clinical trial study. Based on your knowledge from this course, what potential ethical concerns should be discussed with Adele before she agrees to sign up for the clinical trial study? Which types of behaviors would be considered unethical in this scenario? (This refers to rights of participants in any research).”
