d. Meet with Mayor Hill who can provide some information about Sentinel City® economics in general.

2. Enter SC® and begin the bus tour. Compare your selected community to the city in general.

3. As you tour the neighborhood, note signs that indicate your neighborhood is a community that is “thriving” or just “surviving”. Note indicators of high or low employment. Consider education levels, number of female head of households, and median household incomes.

4. Select a specific population group with in your community and identify one of the most common diseases, chronic condition, or injury that impacts this population group.

5. Using an evidence-based approach, address levels of prevention in relation to the disease, chronic condition, or injury that impacts a specific population group. Identify economic prevention strategies that can be initiated by nurses and other healthcare providers and propose an action or intervention that addresses the disease, condition, or injury that most impacts your selected population group.

6. For questions, contact your Academic Coach.

You 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.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

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.

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.
