6. The assigned cases are as follows. See Course Calendar for Due Dates.
Module 2 – Dutta v. St Francis Reg’l Med. Ctr., 850 P.2d 928 (Kan. Ct. App. 1993) Found in Ch 7. (pg 126) (page 317 for the pdf version of the textbook).
7. A source cannot be referenced unless it was cited in the narrative answer.
8. The text book and case study must be cited just like any other source. It is not permissible to write “In the text book…” or In the case study…” unless the proper APA Style citation is found at the end of the sentence.
9. Any direct quote in the narrative must include the page or paragraph number in the citation.
10. It is improper to place a citation/source at the end of a paragraph if material from the source appears before the last sentence in the paragraph.
11. It is improper to place a citation in the middle of a sentence. One can lead with the source in the sentence but cannot use a citation within parenthesis except at the end of the sentence.
12. “External Authoritative Sources” for purposes of this course shall mean: articles from published books, peer reviewed journal articles, education and government sites as well as non-partisan national or international organizations (such as WHO, UNICEF, UNAIDS etc) provided, however the article selected must have:
12.1 Authors; and
12.2 In text citations and references to support statements made therein.
12.3 Under no circumstances are newspapers (e.g., the Wall Street Journal), blogs (regardless of source), editorials, panel discussions, definition of terms, the assigned case study, “dot com” sites, and text books from the course or other courses to be used. The foregoing are not considered authoritative for this course.
