Task overview and topic selection

For this assessment, you will produce an essay that describes the pathophysiology of a specific disease or condition, as well as present the pharmacology that is used to address this. Your will need to focus on the disease/disorder plus pharmacology that you have selected using the Study Desk Topic Selection activity.

Please note that each topic is also capped, with only 100 students able to select each topic on a first-come first-served basis. So, if there is one particular topic that you are interested in, please ensure that you enter your selection as early as possible so that you don't miss out!

You will then research your specific disease/disorder and the indicated pharmacology. From this you are to write an essay that describes the affected system (the normal physiology), what has gone wrong to cause the disease (the pathophysiology), and then how the related pharmacology is used to address this. Your essay is to be targeted towards an educated audience (for example, your peers in the Course).

Ensure that you use the marking criteria that is included later in this document to make certain that you are addressing all of the required details and information.
