Two Strategies for COVID-19 Analysis:
Depth: one topic, one model, or even one concept, but with lots of cases and data to support your view or test your hypotheses.
Width: multiple topics/models/concepts, each with sufficient examples/cases to explain the key terms. This is particularly powerful if you used concepts/models across different weeks’ topics.
It does not have to be long. 3-5 pages excluding graphs, tables, appendix, and before references should be good enough.
Tips for a well-argued COVID-19 Analysis:
Direct to the point on your research questions/hypotheses or directly answer the questions
Well organized: each section has a central meaning with a topic sentence or key concepts at the beginning or in bold font.
Bold your key terms
Define your terms first
Well-referenced for cases cited data sources, literature cited, theories and methods adopted, etc. Please use APA or Chicago or MLA style.
Proofread and check plagiarism.
