"Writing Style
- Use only published reports as evidence to establish the points you want to make.
- Write dispassionately, avoiding emotive phrases and rhetorical flourishes... care should be taken to avoid the essay becoming some kind of "personal position statement"."
So far, understandable - you don't want second-year medical students drawing too many unsupported conclusions of their own. However...
"Essay topics
- 3. When is termination of pregnancy justified?
- 5. According to the Public Health Association of Australia, refugees in Australia suffer from a variety of health problems. To what extent do policies regarding the treatment of refugees ameliorate or exacerbate these problems?
- 6. William Styron wrote that "depression is a wimp of a word for a howling tempest in the brain". What is it like to be depressed?"
I cannot see how you could possibly answer these questions properly without engaging your own personal beliefs, and only referring to published research. And finally, if the question contains rhetorical flourishes, how are we supposed to avoid them?

Yeah. That's why you do the easy questions. Like the Breast Cancer and HRT one which was the PBL we did.

Notre Dame doesn't have a handbook. If they did they would be exposed as the sham they truly are.
