Instructions

From the list of selected readings below, choose two with topics that you know the least about or are most interesting to you.
Then search for, read, and incorporate other readings of your choice in your area of interest that focus on cellular adaption and neoplasia; infection, immunity, and inflammation; and/or hematological disorders. You might include:

1-2 journal articles or websites
Book chapters (past textbooks may be good options)
Your goal is to have a total of at least 60 pages of content read.  

Your summary of each reading should be at least one paragraph (100-200 words) and include the following information:

All references must be cited using APA Style format. Please refer to the CCCOnline APA Citation Toolkit.
Number of pages read
Keywords you used to find the reading
Link to the reading
Why you selected the reading
Main point of the reading
Describe how the health deviations you read about alter normal physiology.
Provide your key takeaway from the reading. This could be something that made you pause, changed your thinking, supported your thinking, or made you question something.

Build your journal in a Word document. You will build on this document in each module. (Do not start a new journal document for each module.) By the end of the course, you will have all five journal assignments in one single document.
In your post, respond to the following questions: How do you know that the material you have found and read is reliable? How do you know that it is valid?
