Research Paper You Will Be Asked To Find Read And Use Various Journ

Research Paper – You will be asked to find, read, and use various journals, trade publications, online resources, and articles related to the content of this course and develop a paper that summarizes, analyzes, discusses, and compares and contrasts concepts from your research. You may use the textbook for your paper but do not use the textbook exclusively. The paper should be at least 5 pages of double-spaced text (1500 words minimum excluding coversheet, illustrations, and references). You should submit your paper to the Digital Drop Box on BeachBoard by the deadline. Please include a cover sheet with your paper, identify the title of your paper (can be more specific than the topic), and include a line of text indicating the total word count in the paper (excluding your citations list).

Paper For Above instruction

This research paper requires an exploration of a topic related to the course through extensive research and critical analysis. The process begins with selecting a relevant subject aligned with the course's themes, utilizing credible sources including peer-reviewed journals, trade publications, online resources, and other scholarly articles. The goal is to synthesize, analyze, and critically evaluate multiple perspectives to produce a comprehensive discussion that contrasts different concepts, highlights significant issues, and offers original insights.

Students should aim to write a minimum of five double-spaced pages, approximately 1500 words, exclusive of the cover page, illustrations, and references. The paper should start with an introduction that clearly states the chosen topic, the relevance of the issue, and the scope of the research. The importance of studying this topic should be justified through relevant data, statistics, or context—highlighting who is affected and why it matters in a broader societal or academic perspective.

In the body of the paper, a detailed discussion of the problem, issue, or concept should be presented. This includes summarizing what the literature says about the topic, identifying different viewpoints, and presenting data that supports various arguments. Analysis should involve a critical comparison of the sources: Are the conclusions valid, reliable, and credible? Do the methodologies used by the researchers support their findings? It is essential to evaluate the trustworthiness of the sources and to discuss any limitations or biases identified in the research.

Further, the paper should incorporate your own synthesis and discussion, indicating whether you agree or disagree with the findings and conclusions presented in the sources. Avoid personal pronouns like "I" or "you" unless necessary, and when used, they should be limited. Instead, focus on objective analysis and logical reasoning to support your viewpoints. Consider discussing any assumptions made by authors, the implications of their findings, and opportunities for further research.

Include a section dedicated to "Further Research," where you suggest what additional studies could be conducted to deepen understanding of the topic. This may involve discussing gaps in current research, methodological limitations, or unexplored aspects that merit future examination. Address questions such as: Were the sample sizes sufficient? Were the research methods appropriate? Do the conclusions add to existing knowledge?

Your references must follow the American Psychological Association (APA) style, and only sources cited within the paper should be included in the references. A minimum of five references is required, including at least two peer-reviewed journal articles, one trade publication, and one newspaper article. The remaining references can be scholarly sources of your choice.

Submission involves uploading your final paper to the Digital Drop Box on BeachBoard by the designated deadline. Be aware that plagiarism detection tools will review your submission; violations will result in a failing grade with no resubmission opportunity. Therefore, proper citation and originality are essential to maintain academic integrity.
