Clinical Laboratory Science Capstone

Course Project Introduction: There are four phases of work in the completion of this paper:

Phase 1 Panning Proposal

The student chooses and defines a research topic related to Clinical Lab, and specifies a timeline for completion.

A rough draft of the Introduction is completed.

Phase 2 Literature Review

The student performs literature research on the topic, and writes a comprehensive literature review.

Final draft of the Introduction is submitted.

Rough draft of the literature review is submitted.

Rough draft of the References is submitted.

Phase 3 Analysis/Evaluation

The student does the primary analysis/evaluation.

The draft of the Analysis/Evaluation is submitted as well as drafts of the Conclusions, Recommendations and any Appendices.

Phase 4 Completion and Presentation

The final paper is edited and completed into a photo-ready copy. The work is presented orally.
