Please submit your final paper by uploading a Word file to Canvas. Prior to submitting your paper, you should review the final paper assignment (yes, re-review it again). Look at the rubric and self-assess yourself – do you think you will earn the grade you want based on the objective grading rubric included in the final paper assignment document?
Actions
Your final paper should include four key parts:
A description of your topic and why you chose it.
What your intuitive, personal beliefs are / your personal reaction is to the topic. Tell me what you think about the question.
A summary of two, relevant empirical journal articles (i.e., papers that present data; both empirical and only one can be a meta analysis). Your description of the articles should clearly demonstrate that you read the full paper and understand it (beyond information in the abstract). Your summary must be in your own words. Do not plagiarize (please!). Your summary should include the research question / hypothesis, the method that the researchers used to evaluate the hypothesis (how they measured or manipulate variables), the results, and the conclusion drawn from the results.
Conclude by linking the evidence you learned about by reading journal articles to your initial thoughts about the topic. How has your thinking changed (or not)? Has it strengthened? Do you think the research answered your question?
Please review the rubric to make sure your paper meets the formatting and APA style requirements (1.5 – 4 double-spaced pages + a separate title page + a separate page for APA style references).
Final notes:
Check your turn-it-in plagiarism report. I will review every report in depth. I do not have a “cut off” for percentage overlap. The references page will likely be flagged for plagiarism – as you learned when you took the plagiarism quiz, that is not plagiarism. However, any instance of plagiarism in your paper will result in an automatic zero and a possible referral to the dean of students. You can revise and resubmit your paper as many times as you would like prior to the submission deadline. No late papers will be accepted after the deadline – please submit them early.
If you’d like me to review your paper early, send me an email and I’ll provide a high-level glance over for you prior to the due date.
