Students will research alternative cancer treatments and write a paper with a complete bibliography.

Students will use the following process:

• Develop a research question that requires you to make a recommendation.
• Example: Should I choose this alternative cancer treatment rather than the conventional treatment?
  
  
• What do I already know?
  • about this alternative cancer treatment?
  • about the conventional treatment?
    
    
• What questions do I need to research to make the best choice or recommendation?
  • What criteria will I use to make my choice?
  • What studies have been done on this treatment and what results have been found?
  • What relevant factors apply in individual situations?
  • Has the alternative treatment been used in hospital settings (or my clinical setting?
  • What are the qualifications of those writing about the treatment?

Students will use the Library's APA Citation Guide.
