The critical thinking assignment asks you to select a current, controversial issue related to criminal justice, find sources that support both sides of the argument, and then write a 8- to 10-page paper (including title page, abstract, content, references, and reflection).
I have it started, so if you can just add to what I have and then finish it.
The final must follow APA formatting and include the following pages:
Title,
Abstract,
Introduction,
Main Points (titles vary per topic),
Conclusion,
Sources/References, and
Assignment Reflection.
Your final page it the Assignment Reflection which includes your personal evaluation of the issue and support your position by answering the following required questions:
What assumptions have you made (outside of the research information evaluated)?
Are those assumptions valid?
Do you need to investigate more facts and data?
Does the conclusion you came to make sense?
Does the information researched, and your assumptions support the conclusion?
If so, why? If not, why not?
Did you ask the right questions?
Did you ask enough questions?
Was there more than one possible conclusion?
If so, did you pick the right one from the facts and data?
How has this assignment shaped or changed your perspective concerning the issue?
The most important part of the Critical Thinking writing assignment is content; however, you are expected to use clear, and concise writing on all assignments. Grades will be affected by poor use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling. The paper must be an 8- to 10-page paper (including title page, abstract, content, references, and reflection), double-spaced, 12 pt. font, and you must follow all guidelines for APA.
