Formatting of your paper must use American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines. Here is a resource you may use: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/.
Papers are to be 8-12 pages of double-spaced type, not including cover page, graphs and charts, and bibliography. Any non-text items (graphs, charts, etc) should be created by the student and included in an appendix.
Margins – 1 inch on all sides
The paper should follow conventional structure for academic writing. Include an Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. The body of the paper should include subheadings that either adheres to the following outline, or subheadings of the students own choosing that included the information in the outline. The conclusion should restate the main points and tie together all the concepts presented in the body of the paper. Recommendations may be presented if appropriate.
Papers should reference a minimum of 8 sources. If you use a source and list it in your references you must include citations in the paper for that source.
Term Paper Content
There should be a logical flow to the content of the paper. Papers should include:
Introduction
Introductions also include a thesis statement or research questions that the paper will address. Make sure the introduction introduces the regulation, not simply the topic.
Body
The following sections should be included with properly formatted subheaders. Students may add additional subheadings if they feel it improves organization.
+Background
Define any terms. Answer the questions Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why
+Need
Discuss the potential market failure implications that you feel made this problem amenable to be addressed through regulation.
+Alternatives
Are there any free market alternatives that have tried to or could address the issue?
+Stakeholders
those who benefit and those who are impacted ‘negatively’. Consider the impact on the business of health care and/or other agencies potentially impacted by the regulation
+Cost
Cost can be financial or non-financial. Consider costs disclosed in the regulation, but also those that are not directly incurred by the government (research, paperwork, training, preparation, etc based costs)
Non-financial costs may be time, societal, opportunity, or other indirectly experienced costs)
+Impact and Effectiveness
This must be supported by researched evidence to support your position.
Conclusion
What conclusions can be drawn from this research?
+Reflection
What are your personal opinions on the topic after doing your research? What did you learn? How did you feel the writing process worked for you? What would you have done differently knowing what you know now?
Papers are to be submitted to SafeAssign. Students will submit their paper in drafts. The idea is to allow the student to receive feedback from the instructor in order that the student can produce the best product.
The third (final) draft is for additional revision and polishing of the paper. You will not have an opportunity to revise the third draft after submission. Make sure your previous drafts give you ample opportunity to receive and implement feedback.
Comments About the Last Paper:This is currently a high C to low B paper. You give great information but it should be backed up by facts, figures, and statistics. Great use of in line citations
There is also highlighted notes on the essay that I would like for you to fix also. But you have to download the essay to see the notes.
Can use all the same sources from the draft paper but I need 1 more source to make the minium of 8 .
I provided my draft paper below.
