%Total WeightageDiscussion: Pain Management in Cancer PatientsDiscussion: Pain
Management in Cancer PatientsYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on
your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of
effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with
numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your
paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary.
Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors.
Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Pain Management in
Cancer Patients Essay.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.Pain Management in Cancer Patients
Essay.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the
top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper
and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow
your argument.Pain Management in Cancer Patients Essay.ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE CLASSDiscussion Questions (DQ)Initial responses to the DQ should address all
components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at
least 250 words.Pain Management in Cancer Patients Essay.Successful responses are
substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-
developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.One or two sentence responses,
simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not
count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.I encourage you to
incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.Weekly
ParticipationYour initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation
and are graded separately.In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply
to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.Participation posts do
not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).Pain
Management in Cancer Patients Essay.Part of your weekly participation includes viewing
the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These
announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the
week.APA Format and Writing QualityFamiliarize yourself with APA format and practice
using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing
Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper
templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or
absence of APA format (if required).Pain Management in Cancer Patients Essay.Cite all
sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a
citation.I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.Use of Direct
QuotesI discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’
level and deduct points accordingly.As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be
able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other
resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding

your source.Pain Management in Cancer Patients Essay.LopesWrite PolicyFor assignments
that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and
Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.Once you have
received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation,
and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of
getting counted off for these mistakes.Pain Management in Cancer Patients Essay.Review
your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is
your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?Visit the Writing
Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on
improving your paper and SI score.Pain Management in Cancer Patients Essay.Late
