*The paper should introduce the subject and answer the critical questions.* Paper Directions 1. Research the topic. Then, find websites, articles, and/or books on your topic.
2. Your research must include at least two journal articles or books. That is, websites can be very helpful and informative, but the final work must include full articles (whether from the Internet or elsewhere) or books on the topic.
3. Sources should be reputable and consistent with what is in the attached module as well as other sources. GoogleScholar and PDF articles from the Internet can be helpful resources. This means including at least two primary sources in the paper; articles from the Internet can be included, but they would be in addition to the two minimum primary sources.
4. Primary sources are firsthand accounts; thus, they involve the author writing about his or her own work. Primary sources include books or published journal articles.
Tips for finding sources:
(a) A Google search can be a helpful way to start. You can then see the scope and type of information available. After you have read up on the topic, you can then search more academic sources such as through GoogleScholar or academic websites (such as hospitals and research institutions) that might have articles and reports available.
(b) Each topic on the list does have information that you can find online as well as in print. If, for whatever reason, you have trouble locating this information, you may want to switch topics.
(c) Make sure you use good search terms when trying to find articles. You may want to start broad (for example, “bystander effect”) and then narrow to your particular area.
Each topic has an application component. Some suggestions for application can be researched, but you will also need to come up with your own ideas. You may want to jot down notes as you research your topic so that you can come to your own conclusions.
Write the paper. Be sure to include all components from the questions above for your topic. The paper should be written in essay format (not an outline), in 12-point font, and double-spaced. Be sure to edit carefully before submitting the paper. Use APA citation format. Here is the format for writing the paper: Format: I. Introduction. Introduce your topic and explain why this topic was of interest to you. II. Body of paper. Fully address your topic and all the components of it. Support your points with your cited research. The topic should be explained in full. This section should be at least three pages long. III. Application. Discuss your topic’s application component. Be sure to mention what applications are recommended by others and what you recommend. You must include your own views about what the application should be, and clearly state them and why. This section should be at least one to two pages.
Conclusion. Conclude your topic with a wrap-up paragraph. Some suggestions for a good conclusion: a) end by summarizing what was learned about this topic; b) end by emphasizing a particular application of the information; c) end by suggesting where future research and discussion should go on this topic. Total paper length: Approximately five pages excluding the reference pages.
