Below is are the directions copied from the assignment(s).
The thesis for this paper is the “assignment topic” above, and I have attached the references I have started on; they must be used. Please note this is three parts (annotated bibliography, rough draft, final) with three due dates listed in the respective paragraph. References must be scholarly and peer-reviewed within the last five (5) years. Access can be given to the school’s online library, if required, upon request.
“1) Each student is required to complete the term project, which is a 15-20 page (not counting the cover, abstract and reference page) research paper in proper APA format. In preparation for the paper, students will submit a thesis statement, an annotated bibliography, and a rough draft. Proofread final paper carefully for spelling, punctuation, missing or duplicated words. Make the effort to ensure that your final paper is clean, tidy, neat, and attractive and is in proper APA format. Be sure to have your final paper ready a day or two before the deadline. This gives you peace of mind and a chance to triple check. Before handing in your assignment for marking, ask yourself: “Is this the VERY BEST that I can do?” (DUE MARCH 24th, 2024)
Proof read your paper. Make sure you have full pages of content. Ensure that your research goal has been met and that you’ve given credence to feedback leading up to this.
2) Annotated Bibliography (DUE MARCH 3rd, 2024) summaries should be 150 words each for proper elaboration (not too much over that number or under). Only sources approved in your annotated bibliography can be used in your rough draft and final paper. Your grade on this assignment is approval of your chosen sources. If any particular source will need to be removed, I will detail this in your grading feedback. Late submissions of this assignment will not be accepted. Be sure to collect a minimum of 12-15 sources for the annotated bibliography and create an outline of the paper with the annotated bibliography to be sure you have enough to move forward.
3) For the first draft of your paper (DUE MARCH 10th, 2024), I will accept 8 pages instead of requiring 15 pages for the rough draft submission. This 8 pages is not counting the title, abstract, and reference pages, though they should all be included with your rough draft submission. This means that you should have at least 8 pages of full content. You are free to submit more. Accepting 8 pages is my courtesy to you all to avoid overwhelm at this point. This draft submission provides you with guidance, suggestions, and feedback that will enable you to continue further development to submit the best final paper possible. This will solely consist of a cursory review of your paper to determine progress. I will not be reading them in full.
Please note: Your annotated bibliography should not be included with your rough draft or final paper. The annotated bibliography was an assignment on its own to assess the sources you’d chosen to use for your paper. You only list the reference page as normal for the rough draft and final paper instead of the annotated bibliography.
Also, do not include figures, tables, appendixes, pictures, etc in your rough draft or final paper. Your paper should only consist of full pages of content.
Once you have submitted the assignment it is automatically run through a plagiarism checker program.”
