The paper should be in APA format.
This means that it should be written in third person.
Be mindful of Inte citations. Make sure that they are formatted correctly.
Quote as little as possible. You want to focus on paraphrasing material.
Use the APA manual page 60* to review a student paper example.
This will identify key components like an appropriate header, title page, and reference page
Paper outline
Use headers!!!!
The paper guideline has every key point that must be addressed. THOSE ARE YOUR HEADINGS!
Review the APA manual to see level 1, 2 and 3 headings and how to appropriately use them.
This will help the reader (grader) ensure that you’ve met each key topic of the paper thoroughly.
Writing structure
Avoid contractions like can’t, don’t, won’t, etc.
Avoid run-on sentences and paragraphs.
Every paragraph should have an opening thought, followed by 2 or 3 supporting evidences, and a conclusion sentence that transitions into the next paragraph.
Reviewing
Do not send a paper in that you have not THOROUGHLY reviewed
Best review strategies in order:
Send it to the writing center. They will give you general feedback
Read it out loud to a significant person in your life (or pet)
Read it from bottom to top – each sentence should connect to the previous one and make sense; this way of reviewing forces your brain to think about how you are connecting those thoughts.
Find meaningful references
An easy way to find resources and references:
Go to EbscoHost and search for articles dealing with the same issues your clients are facing.
Review the abstract first to see if the content is even meaningful for your paper
Review the literature review to find OTHER citations that you can go search to expand on your paper
Review the outcomes to find the limitation of the study and what they found out with their research.
In this paper you would talk about a woman that called the tenant helpline for assistance as she is in court for non-payment. Caller owed $56,500 in back rent. The tenant has 2 younger children aged 6 and 15 years old. The tenant fell behind in her rent as she lost her job during COVID, however she recently started back working full-time. She resides in a rent stabilized unit, she wants to be screened if she is eligible for voucher assistance with CITYFHEPS. The tenant has an attorney working with her court case. She signed a stipulation to pay the rent arrears within 3 months. The tenant applied for a OSD (ONE SHOT DEAL FOR BACK RENT) with HRA. She was provided the information for HOMEBASE to be screened for voucher assistance. I will submit a tenant support unit referral to be provided case management services in regard to her court case.
Add in the case management services that was provided to the tenant
o Not Quote!!!! Paraphrase the material. If one person is researching it, others are as well. Therefore, it is extremely common to have one thought/sentence with several parenthetical citations.
