Have You Watched The HW Video On APA 7 Basics And Cover

Stop 1have You Watched The Hw Video On Apa 7 Basics And Cover Page

Have you watched the HW video on APA 7 Basics and Cover Page? If you were absent, have you watched the class recording? Do not continue to the assignment until these things are complete.

Step 1, Brainstorm: Think about your field of study as a master's student. Use one of the two methods taught in class and find two news articles that report on relevant problems related to the industry associated with your master's degree program (think about scandals within the last 5 years). Come up with two examples using the format below in a simple Word document, using APA 7 Basics and an APA 7 cover page learned through the HW video (see p. 20 in Foundations for a sample cover page).

Step 2, Create your Word Document and Answer Questions (it should look similar to p. 5 in Foundations):

For example: If my major is public health or even education, I would come up with something like Issue/Problem 1 below (MPH students, you cannot use this as your own). We have started one together in class, so you must complete what you started in class and find a second research problem proposal:

Issue/Problem 1: Depression and anxiety among young adults

  1. People Involved: College students, parents
  2. Link to Article:
  3. My Research Question: What have researchers learned about the impact of COVID 19 on depression and anxiety among young adult students?

I would then fill out my second Problem proposal below:

  1. Issue/Problem 2:
  2. People Involved:
  3. Link to Article:
  4. My Research Question:

Grading: Cover/Title Page = 40 pts; Issue/Problem 1 = 30 pts; Issue/Problem 2 = 30 pts.

Paper For Above instruction

The purpose of this assignment is to develop research ideas rooted in current news related to your field of study while adhering to APA 7 formatting standards. As master's students, it is essential to connect academic research with real-world issues, especially recent scandals or problems reported in the news, to enhance practical understanding and scholarly relevance.

Initially, students are required to brainstorm potential issues within their industry by leveraging news articles published in the last five years. This step encourages engagement with contemporary challenges, which helps in fostering relevant research topics. The instructor teaches two methods for identifying such issues, and students are expected to select one of these methods for their research. The task involves finding two news articles that report on significant problems relevant to their field, such as scandals, policy failures, or societal impacts that align with their master's studies.

After selecting the issues, students must prepare a structured Word document. This document should include a cover page formatted according to APA 7 standards, which students learn from the HW video and the sample on p. 20 of Foundations. The cover page should include the assignment title, student name, institution, course, instructor, and date, formatted per APA guidelines.

The core content of the document involves outlining two research problems or issues. Each issue must include three key components: identification of the people involved, a link to the news article that reports the problem, and a research question that seeks to explore or analyze the issue further. Students are expected to formulate research questions that are specific and researchable, reflecting current understandings or gaps within the topic.

For example, a student majoring in public health might identify issues such as mental health impacts of COVID-19 targeted at young adults. For each, they would specify involved populations, provide the news link, and articulate a research question, such as assessing the research literature on depression and anxiety among college students during the pandemic. Students should complete two such problem proposals, ensuring each is detailed and relevant.

The assignment is graded based on the quality and correctness of the cover page (40 points), the first issue (30 points), and the second issue (30 points), emphasizing proper APA formatting, clarity in problem identification, and relevance to current news.
