Research Paper Assignment Instructions
Overview
The Research Paper Assignment is intended to teach how to understand professional scholarly sources, digest information and research, and put into a proper format explaining a specific topic. The paper teaches a culmination of skills for finding research, writing in proper APA format, pulling together your own thoughts, while supporting those thoughts with up to date research, citations and references. This will be an imperative skill as you continue in your academic journey, as well as professional in your field of study/ career.
Instructions
You will write a Research Paper on a topic in the field of child counseling. (Guidelines for topics are provided in the Research Paper Proposal Instructions document.) Do not use a paper or topic you have used in previous classes; as this will not be accepted. The paper must include a title page and reference page, as well as 8–10 pages of content (the body of the paper). Emphasize quality before quantity. Follow current APA guidelines throughout the paper. Your paper must be typed, double-spaced, and fall within the range of fonts allowed in the current APA manual.
Develop a paper that is full of up-to-date research (published within the last 10 years). This includes using citations liberally throughout the paper, including some small quotes as well as paraphrasing of information. You must use 5 scholarly references in addition to the optional use of the class textbooks, lectures, and the Bible.
One of your sources must be a professional scholarly journal article. Refrain from writing personal opinion, and do not use first-person writing. Your paper will be graded on the basis of clarity, flow, use of resources, interpretations, and conclusions; see the Research Paper Assignment Grading Rubric for more specific parameters.
Note:
Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Safe Assign plagiarism tool.
