Your Topic
- The topic for your fact sheet should be something related to health/healthcare in ancient Western civilizations.
- Select a topic that interests you AND relates to the course content, time periods, and geographic areas covered in this course (e.g., The Black Plague). Some health-related topics include:
- Medicine in Sparta
- Ancient Greek Sanitation
- Healing Temples of Asclepius
- Select something which interests you personally and which you would like to help others learn as well.
- For example, you may choose to research and discuss a new health/healthcare practice from one of the time periods and civilizations covered in class OR select a topic touched upon in the course and conduct further in-depth research.
- Take a look at the table of contents in Brooks (2019) for guidance on the topics and time periods we are covering in this course.
Expectations:
- Spelling, punctuation, and grammar matter and will be considered in grading your work.
- Do not use Wikipedia as a resource.
- A complete citation reference page will be due with your final submission in Week 15 - track your sources as you complete each step of this assignment. Any images you use must also have citations cited. Citations will be listed in a separate reference page and will not take up space on the Fact Sheet itself.
- Your cited research must be scholarly, credible, recent, and relevant. What is a scholarly source?
- In short: scholarly, academic, and scientific journals are preferred over popular magazines, news (NY Times), and general interest magazines (National Geographic). These resources are also preferred over encyclopedias (secondary scholarly sources). A good place to start looking is google scholar.
