Comparative Case Study Paper
Instruction from professor:
For the Comparative Case Study, students will overview disease outbreaks in a comparative context. The comparison may center on the environmental, ecological, biological, economic, political, as well as the sociocultural factors affecting the ways in which a health issue plays out in both the student’s home country and the student’s host country (e.g., the novel coronavirus pandemic in both locations). Or, the comparison may center on two health crises that occurred in two distinct points in history (e.g., Ebola and the later novel coronavirus). The paper will be 1500–words exactly and draw on the mandatory course readings and at least FOUR other relevant academic papers. The assessment will be graded on a student’s ability to elaborate on the effects, the political debates and compare both the health effects, the relation to population health, the diseases risk and attempts to address these effects at a national and global level.
The essay should be 1″ margins with 1/2″ paragraph indentation, double-spaced, 12-point Times Roman or Calibri font.
Citations should follow MLA style: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_formatting_and_style_guide.html
