Overview
Each group will be assigned a question to research at the residency. The group will research the question and prepare a 6 page paper that provides a research supported answer to the question. The paper should include an introduction, literature review, and conclusion. The introduction should include some background information, the purpose and research question, and a preview of the paper. The literature review should be organized in a way that appropriately presents the existing literature pertaining to the question under exploration. The conclusion should answer the question that was assigned. This paper should be in APA style and follow the writing requirements for this course. You may use the assigned course readings in this paper, but are required to use an additional 5 sources.
Your group will also deliver a presentation of this project. The presentation rubric provided in the Getting Started folder under the Content Tab will be used to grade the presentation. You will receive an individual grade on the presentation, so each group member must participate equally in the presentation. Power Point is required and the presentation should last at least 10 minutes. The presentation is worth 50 points and the paper is worth 100 points.
The following writing requirements must be followed for all initial discussion posts and papers submitted:
- References must be cited within your paper in APA format. Your reference page and in-text citations must match 100%. Papers without in-text citations will earn failing grades.
- Always include a cover page and reference page with all submissions (even initial discussion posts).
- Provide the exact web link on the reference page citations for all online sources – do not provide just the home page, but the exact link – I check all sources.
- No abbreviations, no contractions – write formally
- Write in the third person formal voice (no first or second person pronouns).
- Write more than the minimum requirement of the word count assigned.
- As always, the word count is only for the body of the paper – the cover page, reference page, and / or Appendix (if included) do not count towards the word count for the paper.
- Indent the first line of each new paragraph five spaces.
- Refer to the example APA paper in the getting started folder under the content tab if you need an example. Also, a Power Point is provided under the information tab that addresses APA format.
- Use double-spacing / zero point line spacing, a running header, page numbers, and left justify the margins.
