INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESEARCH ESSAY*<\/p>\n
You will write a three-page research essay involving any topic in the chapters we will cover in the course (anything less than three full pages will not be evaluated). The objectives of this assignment are to allow you to explore a topic of interest further, experience in writing an APA style paper, and to strengthen your research, synthesis, and writing skills.<\/p>\n
Please submit your topic to me by Friday, July 15, 2022 (link will be found in the course content page). The paper is due Sunday, July 31, 2022. Having the topic ready as early as July 15, 2022, will give you at two weeks to write your paper (remember it is only three pages).<\/p>\n
You will need to cite at least two references (you may not use the textbook as a source). There should only be one source from the internet and the other one must be a book, journal, etc. You should strive to find the most authoritative and\/or up-to-date sources. DO NOT limit yourself to those sources for which electronic full text is available. You may need to go to the library and read a print source; you may even need to order paper(s) through interlibrary loan. Avoid somewhat dated references (from the 1990s, for example).<\/p>\n
Please use APA style for writing your paper.<\/p>\n
Specific APA style information:<\/p>\n
Components of paper<\/p>\n
Title page: name, title, class, section, date, body (use headers where appropriate)<\/p>\n
References: end of the paper with centered title \u201cReferences\u201d<\/p>\n
Margins \u2013 one-inch margins are required on every side<\/p>\n
Spacing \u2013 double-spaced<\/p>\n
Font \u2013 Times New Roman, 12 point<\/p>\n
Page numbers \u2013 make sure to put page numbers at the top right corner of every page (in the header)<\/p>\n
Papers will be graded based upon style, content, and references.<\/p>\n
Style: Is the paper well-structured? Are grammar and spelling correct? Are references cited correctly in the text and at the end? Is the paper a pleasure to read? I strongly recommend that you write your paper a few days early and let it sit so that you can review it with a fresh eye. It is also a good idea to get input from a friend or a tutor at the Writer’s Center.<\/p>\n
Content and references: Do you cover the most important points of the topic? Do you have up-to-date information? Were you able to locate the most important sources of information for your topic? <\/p>\n
Good writing tips<\/p>\n
USE OTHER LITERATURE REVIEWS AND ARTICLES AS A GUIDE<\/p>\n
QUOTATIONS: Quotations should generally not be used. VOICE: AVOID 1ST PERSON (GALVAN, 2004, P. 54)<\/p>\n
Ex. Improper \u201cvoice\u201d for academic writing<\/p>\n
In this review, I will show that the literature on treating juvenile murderers is sparse and suffers from the same problems as the general literature \u2026 Unfortunately, I have found that most of the treatment results are based on clinical case reports \u2026<\/p>\n
Ex. Suitable \u201cvoice\u201d for academic writing<\/p>\n
The literature on treating juvenile murderers is sparse and suffers from the same problems as the general literature\u2026 Most of the treatment results are based on clinical case reports\u2026<\/p>\n
AVOID SLANG. USE PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGE<\/p>\n
\u201cconducted a study\u201d instead of \u201cdid a study\u201d \u201cexamined\u201d instead of \u201clooked at\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cutilize\u201d instead of \u201cuse\u201d (where appropriate) \u201cgreat deal\u201d instead of \u201ca lot\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cfurthermore\u201d instead of run-on sentences<\/p>\n
ORGANIZE THE PAPER BY TOPICS NOT CHRONOLOGY: Build paper with a clear thesis. Good writing should provide clear and organized evidence for your argument or theory.<\/p>\n
BE CONCISE: Delete unnecessary words, phrases, and sentences to improve your writing drastically. Scientific writing is concise and to-the-point!<\/p>\n
REVISE AND REWRITE: Good writing takes hard work. Give yourself enough time to take a break from the paper. Time away from the paper provides perspective regarding the organization and allows the opportunity to find technical errors.<\/p>\n
CITATIONS: You must use good citation habits. It is plagiarism to use other writers\u2019 words and IDEAS.<\/p>\n
USE ASSISTANCE OF WRITING CENTER WHEN NEEDED.<\/p>\n
APA style sample paper: Once topics have been selected and approved an APA style sample paper will be provided. Please look at the sample which will provide a guide to a properly written APA paper.<\/p>\n
Safe Assign submission: Once the paper has been written it must be submitted via the Research Paper Submission Link in the course content page. I am going to let you see the results of the SafeAssign report. It must be corrected if you receive an over 10% matching with other sources (plagiarism). If you disagree with the results you must come to talk to me. It could be that SafeAssign is scanning your references as being plagiarized.<\/p>\n
