This course has Turnitin® fully integrated into the course dropbox. This
means that you should only submit your assignments to the dropbox below. Please
do not submit your assignment directly to Turnitin.com.
Once submitted, your assignment will be evaluated by Turnitin®
automatically. You will be able to view an Originality Report within minutes of
your first submission that will show how much of your work has been identified
as similar to other sources such as websites, textbooks, or other student
papers. Use your Originality Report as a learning tool to identify areas of
your assignment that you may not have cited appropriately. The overall match
can be no higher than 15%, with any one match no higher than 2%. You may
resubmit your assignment through this dropbox as many times as you need to
check to see if you have made improvements, until the due date of the
assignment. However, once you have made your first submission, you will need to
wait 24 hours after each subsequent submission to receive a new Originality
Report. Plan accordingly as you draft your assignment. Once the due date has
passed, your assignment submission will be considered final.
This is an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned about global public
health in a brief paper in which you will identify a specific global public
health issue or threat that has implications for the United States and describe
an evidence based approach to responding to it. As a part of the paper, you
will address how the master’s prepared nurse can contribute and function as a
leader in response to a global public health threat.
