ASSIGNMENT OUTLINE:

When completing this assignment, divide the essay into three parts: the introduction, the body of

the essay, and a conclusion. Remember, this is a 3-5 page research paper, and it should be a

critical analysis of the subject matter. Never use 1st or 2nd person in academic writing. The research paper should be structured as followed:

STEP ONE (INTRODUCTION) ½ – 1 page Introduce the topic, general context and information, history, and relevance of this topic matter.

STEP TWO (BODY OF YOUR PAPER) 1-2 pages This portion should be building an empirical and historical account. Students should compare

and contrast both sides of the issue or topic. Identify context, data, facts, history, importance,

necessity, and purpose as it relates to your subject.

STEP THREE (BODY OF YOUR PAPER) 1-2 pages This is where the student will determine which policy preference/s is/are the best approach.

Students are expected to present factual evidence, a genuine, original, and independent thought and idea, and support it with facts, data, and sound judgment. (REMEMBER NO 1ST OR 2ND PERSON IN ACADEMIC WRITING)

STEP FOUR (CONCLUSION) ½ – 1 page This should be a wrap up of everything said about the assignment topic. Conclude with a summation, outcomes, new questions that were uncovered, etc.

Abstract

This is the abstract. In academic writing, the abstract is a summation of the greater

project. You will need to submit this to me, with at least 4 academic sources that you are

planning on using, and this will be 25% of the grade. The whole purpose of me typing this

abstract paragraph is to show you what I expect. Below, you will see the four sources, cited, in

the appropriate APA formatting.
