My topic is about ischemic heart disease.

Term Paper: Students are required to complete a 3-4-page double-spaced, typewritten report on a global infectious disease topic, of their choice (850-1000 words max). However, all topics must be approved by the Professor of the course. This means that you will send to submit your topic to the professor (at least 2 weeks prior to the assignment due date) for approval before you begin to write your final paper.

Each report must include a cover page, outline and a works cited page. The cover page and

reference page(s) do not contribute to the 4-page requirement for the term paper.

The paper needs to be a minimum of 3 double-spaced, typewritten pages to receive full

credit. The paper should be typed in Times New Roman or Arial or Calibri font, size 12.

No late papers will be accepted. A grade of zero (0) will be assigned to late papers.

Questions that should be entertained and answered in the report are:

• What is Malaria? Including history of the disease

• Where is Malaria found (i.e. regions of the world afflicted by this disease)?
