The criteria for the papers are as follows:

• Be a reflection of deeper thought or opinion about something said, read, presented or discussed in class or in the readings, videos or podcasts. If we covered it then it is open for a discussion.
• Must express an opinion or feeling about a topic, cannot be a simple summary of a topic.
• Be 600 I will not read or grade a paper that less than this word count. This is not arbitrary. If you were to continue into public health as a field you will often be asked to write to a word count.
• You can use any font, font size or formatting you desire as long as I can read it.
• Do not get caught up in grammar, spelling or organization. This is meant as a process for you to consider and think about the material, not an example of writing style and training.
