This document outlines the paper guidelines for a 7+ page scholarly paper assignment for a PS 101 American Government course. Students must write on a topic of their choosing related to one discussed in class. The paper must include at least 4 scholarly sources and a total of 8 sources. It should be formatted in MLA, APA or APSA style and include title page, bibliography, and follow guidelines for structure, font, spacing and margins. The suggested structure divides the paper into an introduction, 4 body paragraphs presenting different perspectives on the topic, and a conclusion.

PS 101 American Government Paper Guidelines
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to (1) teach you how to write
a scholarly paper, (2) encourage you to analyze an issue from
all perspectives, and (3) understand the importance of politics
in our everyday lives.
Requirements
For this paper, you will write 7+ pages on a topic of your
choosing. All of the topics mentioned in the Final Paper Topic
Discussion from the first two weeks of class were perfectly
acceptable. You will need to bring your topic to class Thursday
9/10 as we will be discussing them. Your topic should be turned
in to me on Canvas by Friday at 11:59 pm. It will be under an
assignment labeled “Final Paper Topic.”
Since this is an academic and scholarly paper, you will need to
use at least 4 scholarly sources and at least 8 sources altogether.
Scholarly sources are peer-reviewed academic articles in
journals. You can access them via the library’s database or
google scholar (many say the latter is easier). We will devote
class time to understanding what a scholarly source is and how
to find it and cite it. Your other 4 sources can be government
websites, think tanks, nonprofit websites, or news articles.
You can write it in MLA, APA, or APSA style. Just be sure to
follow whichever you choose consistently and correctly.
Title Pages and Bibliographies do not count toward your page
count, but you will need them. Again, we will discuss this in
class. Times New Roman Font, Size 12, Double Spaced, 1 in
margins.
Length- Your paper structure might be different, and that’s
okay. It’s normal for your Introduction and Conclusion to look
mildly similar or to be a lot shorter than Parts 1-4. For
reference, this would be a well-balanced paper that doesn’t
focus too heavily or lightly on any one thing.

Introduction- .5-1 page
Part 1- 1.5-2 pages
Part 2- 1.5-2 pages
Part 3- 1.5-2 pages
Part 4- 1-1.5 pages
Conclusion- .5-1 page.
Structure
Introduction- Introduce your topic to me. What is your
paper about? Explain briefly. Why is it important? Give me the
structure of your paper (so your main arguments). Transition to
Part 1.
Part 1- This is where you will begin to elaborate on the topic of
your choosing and likely its history. Give me the context I need
to understand your paper. Assume I am a general reader and not
a Political Science Instructor.
Part 2- Here’s where you should introduce the argument of
support/ one side of the argument (depends on your topic but
every topic has multiple perspectives. If you have trouble with
this, reach out and I can help you identify different sections).
Part 3- This is the section where you talk about the
counterarguments to Part 2. This could be negative implications
of something, flaws in the way it would work/ does work, a
competing theory to something. Again, it is topic dependent,
and we can discuss this further individually, but just present
another perspective.
Part 4- Give me your opinion. How do we fix the problem or
which perspective do you agree with? Remember, throughout
this whole paper you should be using evidence based reasoning
and analytical thinking. Without evidential support, this might
as well be an opinion piece for the local newspaper. Give me
substance and support to what you are saying. It is okay to be
opinionated in this section; however, I should not know what
you believe in Parts 1-3. We’ll talk more in class about what
I’m expecting.
Conclusion- Don’t present any new information here. Just wrap

up what your paper was about, both perspectives, and your
opinion.

Social Justice and Family Policy Dr. Williams Instructions for the Critical Essay Utilizing seven to ten outside scholarly sources students are to write critical essays (5-7 pages not including title and reference pages) documenting an essential issue with regard to the course’s influence on a policy. Students may also include official and organizational research reports as part of their allotted references too1. These essays are positional in nature (you’re arguing a stance using scholarly evidence), and will be written in an academic and scholarly tone. Arguments must be cogent, logical, and supported by facts (which will come from one’s research). APA citation and reference lists are required. These essays will be well proof-read before submission. Font: Times New Roman, 12. The essay should be double-spaced and numbered. Below are instructions regarding the format: 1. The assignment requires a traditional APA title page. Students may assign the essay its own title, be creative. Again, the title page and references are not counted in the page requirement. 2. The structure of the paper should be sectioned like such: a. Introduction b. The Policy (here you will provide an explanation/background of your chosen policy) c. Corresponding Issue #1 d. Corresponding Issue #2 e. Suggested Policy Change f. Conclusion g. References 3. The Introduction should provide a thorough roadmap of where you intend to take the reader; thus, here you want to establish a clear but brief outline of your policy of choice and the issues you plan to uncover—leave the rest for folks to see in the essay. This should be no more than a good thick paragraph. 4. The proceeding pages should be well structured by sections/headings which will correspond to remaining four points mentioned after the introduction. For example, for a policy one may choose sentencing, and then his/her two issues may be mass incarceration and reentry (you’d use those titles as the headings for your sections in the essay, or you can be more creative and call them something else, but the sections need to be distinct from each other). The information contained in each respective section will include a meshing together of your scholarly sources and your understanding of your chosen policy. This part of the essay will become more refined as one continue to engage in research. Remember, all points/arguments explained in these pages must be cited and backed by evidence. Your writing should be both informative and persuasive, which means you should be explaining to your reader the gist of the 1. These are the sources that will give one the statistics he/she would need to describe the scope of the problem/issue which will be covered in the essay. It is important that the essay has some stats in it to substantiate all arguments. For instance, for crime stats see .

The word journal comes from the French word jour and from the Latin word diurnalis meaning daily. Thus, a journal is some form of notebook in which daily writing (or at least regular writing) is recorded. Journals help people clarify their thoughts. Jotting down feelings, responses, and insights into daily events gives writers an opportunity to discover what they think and how they feel about different topics.

SOCIOLOGY 105A FINAL PAPER PROMPT – WINTER 2018 Length: No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more); no more than 8 pages or 2800 words (whichever is less). The paper should be double spaced with 11-pt or 12-pt font and 1-inch margins. Font should be Times or Palatino only. Do not include a title page. Submission: On Canvas as an inline submission under the final paper assignment prompt. Please submit your final draft under the same assignment, as an additional attachment after you have edited and revised it in accordance with your TA’s feedback. Due Date: The first draft is due by midnight on Wednesday, March 7. It is worth 100 points. The final draft is due no later than 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 21. It is worth 150 points. You will get your first draft feedback by Friday, March 16. Other requirements: Paper must be carefully edited using grammar/spell-check, and also proofread by a human brain other than your own. Your submission should be written in a formal tone, without making use of conversational or colloquial English. This paper satisfies part of the disciplinary communication (DC) requirement, so it must be written with serious care. It needs a clear introduction with thesis statement, logically developed body paragraphs, and a conclusion. No citations or direct quotes are necessary, although you are welcome to include a quote from the original theory if it was one of the ones that we read. If you do use any direct quotes, please include a “Works Cited” list at the end of your paper. This page is not part of your page or word count. TOPIC DESCRIPTION At the beginning of the quarter, I introduced the idea of a metaphorical “dinner party with social theorists.” In this paper, you will demonstrate your ability to apply concepts from classical social theory to the contemporary social world by putting several different theories into conversation with one another. Your goal is to show how classical theory helps to explain and/or fails to explain the origin/operation of your social problem or feature of the social world (as you understand it). Here’s how to proceed: 1. Choose either (A) a social problem that you feel passionate about or (B) a feature of the social world that you find fascinating. Examples of social problems could include things like racial tracking in education or the conservative attack on labor unions; examples of features of the social world could include behavior like internet trolling or trends in romantic relationships among college-age people. The possibilities are quite endless. The easiest topic to work with will be specific and narrow, and also something that you are personally invested in (we will take Weber’s advice about value-relevance here ). 2. Analyze your topic through the lens of three different theorists that we have covered this quarter. Most of you will find it easiest to use Marx/Weber/Durkheim, but you are welcome to use others we have covered as well if you feel inclined t.

Essay Writing Guide INR and PLT – Dr Keating June 2018 Page | 2 Writing a Research Essay in International Relations and Political Science This is some basic advice on writing an essay in International Relations. The advice is generic, and obviously particular assignments, topics, questions have their own requirements – but this general advice should apply most of the time. Be aware of what a criteria grading sheet looks like, as this sets out the way in which the essay will be graded. The standard grading sheet looks like this, and you will notice that there are four separate criteria. We will deal with each in turn. 1. Structure/Organization: Have you answered the question? Do you have a clear argument that you defend throughout? Is it well organized with appropriate use of paragraphs? 2. Research: Are you demonstrating research skills? Have you used a range of sources? Is it thoroughly referenced, using an appropriate system, with a bibliography? 3. Content: Do you set out clear arguments/evidence to support your position? Have you considered counter-arguments/evidence? Is their evidence of critical thinking? 4. Presentation: Is the paper well-written? Is it proof-read for grammar and spelling errors? 1. Structure/Organisation Essays need a clear and concise introduction, which sets out a position: the thesis or argument that the essay will defend. If a question has been set, the introduction needs to clearly answer this question. It does not provide a broad introduction to the topic (avoid waffle or ‘flowery’ introductions), but rather, specifies the particular position that the essay will pursue. The essay then defends this position clearly throughout! I strongly suggest beginning the essay with the line “This essay argues…”. If you can clearly set out your position at the start, it will solve a lot of the structural problems that many essays have. You can then use the rest of the introduction to expand on your argument, detail the case material you are using to support your position, explain how your position allows you to propose an answer to the question(if one is set), and outline the structure of the essay. When outlining the structure of the essay, using first, second, third can be a clear and informative approach for the reader. The main body of the essay is organised in short, sharp, concise paragraphs. It is important to consistently link the material, ideas, theories, concepts, debates, arguments, evidence, and case studies that you evaluate in the main body of the essay back to the question, and to your argument. Though different courses and different types of written assignments have different objectives, normally it is a good idea to have a balance between theoretical/conceptual debates and discussion, and empirical evidence. Theory comes first – detail the argument/counter-argument, analyse this material in the context of your argument (as clearly .

PART1 (WEEK1) Introduction Over the eight weeks of the course, you will work on a paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You will select a topic, choose an issue related to that topic, thoroughly research both sides of the issue, and then write a paper that supports one side or the other of the issue. Your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules. Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course: Instructions Topic: Artificial intelligence State the topic (Artificial Intelligence) State the specific issue you will explore. This must be stated either as a question ("Should prostitution be legalized?") or a whether-or-not statement ("Whether prostitution should be legalized"). For the stated issue, state three (3) aspects of the issue that you think you will likely develop in your paper. Briefly state why you have chosen each aspect. You are not confined to three aspects only, but you must develop at least three. As you develop your paper, you may find other aspects that you deem more relevant, and may add or substitute those. Example: For the topic of prostitution, you might examine the aspect of personal autonomy, public health aspects, and law enforcement aspects, at a minimum. Example: For the topic of free healthcare for undocumented persons, you might address economic aspects, ethical aspects, and public health aspects, at a minimum. PART 2 (WEEK3) Introduction This week you continue to work on your paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You have selected a topic and chosen issues related to that topic; this week, you will thoroughly research both sides of the issues you have chosen. Keep in mind that your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules; the assignment this week is to research both the pro and con sides of the issues you have chosen to address. Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course: Week 1 Topic Selection Week 3 Issue Review (both sides) Week 5 Thesis & Annotated Bibliography (both sides) Week 7 Argumentative Paper Instructions This week, you will conduct an issue review for your selected topic for your project.

Running head: ARTICLE CRITIQUE INSTRUCTIONS 1 ARTICLE CRITIQUE INSTRUCTIONS 2 Article Critique Instructions (60 points possible) Ryan J. Winter Florida International University Purpose of The Article Critique Paper 1). Psychological Purpose This paper serves several purposes, the first of which is helping you gain insight into research papers in psychology. As this may be your first time reading and writing papers in psychology, one goal of Paper I is to give you insight into what goes into such papers. This article critique paper will help you learn about the various sections of an empirical research report by reading at least one peer-reviewed articles (articles that have a Title Page, Abstract*, Literature Review, Methods Section, Results Section, and References Page—I have already selected some articles for you to critique, so make sure you only critique one in the folder provided on Canvas) This paper will also give you some insights into how the results sections are written in APA formatted research articles. Pay close attention to those sections, as throughout this course you’ll be writing up some results of your own! In this relatively short paper, you will read one of five articles posted on Canvas and summarize what the authors did and what they found. The first part of the paper should focus on summarizing the design the authors used for their project. That is, you will identify the independent and dependent variables, talk about how the authors carried out their study, and then summarize the results (you don’t need to fully understand the statistics in the results, but try to get a sense of what the authors did in their analyses). In the second part of the paper, you will critique the article for its methodological strengths and weaknesses. Finally, in part three, you will provide your references for the Article Critique Paper in APA format. 2). APA Formatting Purpose The second purpose of the Article Critique paper is to teach you proper American Psychological Association (APA) formatting. In the instructions below, I tell you how to format your paper using APA style. There are a lot of very specific requirements in APA papers, so pay attention to the instructions below as well as Chapter 14 in your textbook! I highly recommend using the Paper I Checklist before submitting your paper, as it will help walk you through the picky nuances of APA formatting. 3). Writing Purpose Finally, this paper is intended to help you grow as a writer. Few psychology classes give you the chance to write papers and receive feedback on your work. This class will! We will give you feedback on this paper in terms of content, spelling, and grammar. Article Critique Paper (60 points possible) Each student is required to write an article critique paper based on one of the research articles present on Canvas only those articles listed on Canvas can be critiqued – if you critique a different article, it will not be graded).

SOCW 6351 week 4 In regards to discussion posts I generally follow the guidelines spelled out in Walden's grading rubric in regards to posts (see the grading rubric outlined in the course information section of blackboard). However, if you do not use APA format or references in at least your initial post, I will deduct at least 5 points for that (so please do that). This is also the same rules for assignments, that they must follow APA style format. Also, in past courses I have been flexible in certain situations regarding delayed or late posts. I do believe that life sometimes gets in the way when we least expect it to. Please know that I would prefer a late post than no post at all. However, I will not accept posts that are more than a week late. If you are not able to post by the required date for whatever reason, just please let me know beforehand. As a rule, however, I do deduct points off the posts if they are late so as to be fair to those who post on time. In addition, I will be following very closely with Walden's Tunitin Policy, which I posted below. Therefore, any paper that is submitted to me with more than 30% of the paper with improperly cited passages (or to many cited passages) I will return the paper to you and ask for you to re-review it and for a re-write if necessary. You will not lose points if the original paper was submitted on-time, but will be given a limited period of time to review/rewrite the paper (2-3 days). I have provided an outline of what is specifically required for discussion posts and written assignments in this course: Discussion Posts: All posts to all discussions require APA citations and references. Each student is to respond to 2 other students’ posts for every discussion throughout the course. This is the rule for this class; there are discrepancies in this on the Blackboard site. However, going forward, If you post more than 6 response posts by day 5 you will be eligible for 3 points extra participation credit to make up for any lost points (my class rule). I will be posting on discussions and I am requiring a response from you so please check throughout the week for when respond to your discussion post (usually by day 5) All initial posts and response posts are due on the days specified on Blackboard (usually Day Three and Five). If your post is late for whatever reason please make sure your posts are posted by Day 7. I am no longer allowed to accept posts after Day 7 as per Walden’s Policy, and any posts. If you know that there is a circumstance that will prevent you for making the post on time or by Day 7, please email me to discuss. The way a reader (myself and other students) can see that you understand the information, theoretical models, concepts, and words you are discussing is to write about them in your own words as much as possible, tell us what the article authors said by paraphrasing, using your own language. Scholarly does not mean you have to write using multi-syllabic word.

Writing the Rough Draft The purpose of this assignment is three-fold. 1. First, almost every piece of writing that you complete at the college level will involve arguing for a specific viewpoint. Even essays that simply are informative are trying to convince the reader of the validity of the information. This essay will allow you to demonstrate that you understand how to compose an effective piece of persuasive writing. 2. Second, you will be required to write many research papers as you complete your academic career. This essay allows you to demonstrate that you understand how to effectively cite the information you gather from completing the research assignments that led up to writing this essay. 3. Finally, this essay gives you the chance to discuss something you feel is important, either for your own information or for the general population, and you get a guaranteed audience. General Guidelines for Writing the Essay & Tips for Putting it Together · Write a 6-8 page essay that discusses your research topic. Begin with a catchy first sentence and interesting first paragraph that explains why you chose this topic and why someone should read about this topic. If you wrote a good story for your Research Proposal, that story can become the introduction for your research essay. · The first paragraph or two should discuss the issue, problem, or topic that you researched. It should provide any background information that is necessary for the reader to understand the essay, and it should define any unfamiliar terms. Once you introduce the topic and provide background information, then you should state your thesis and the main reasons for your thesis. You will continually refer back to the thesis statement throughout the paper, AND everything in the paper will be connected to the thesis statement. This will help you keep your focus and go deep rather than broad into the information you gathered. · After you have introduced your topic and stated the thesis, explain your first sub-claim (a sub-claim is a claim that supports the main idea or thesis). Remember this is an essay so you should have one main point that you are trying to communicate. You may have found out many, many things that you cannot include. What is the most important information? What's the best way to get that across to your readers? · Each paragraph is also like a mini-essay. Each paragraph will have one main point or idea that you are developing. Then you will explain the main idea and give examples. · Use transitions between paragraphs and ideas so that the essay flows. · Be sure to introduce your quotes and paraphrased ideas. You might want to review the lesson from the Summary folder that discusses paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting. Do NOT just drop a quote into your paper without an introduction and discussion. · Be sure to use ethos, pathos, and logos to strengthen your argument and appeal to your audience. Follow this link for a discussion of the rhetorical appeals an.

Family Issues Research Paper Sociology of the Family, spring ‘19 SOCY 214: Sociology of the Family (35375) Family Issues Research Paper Final Paper Due: Sunday, May 5, 2019 For this assignment, you are expected to delve into an area of the family that most interests you. You will be exploring a specific issue dealing with what you consider to be one of the most pressing issues facing families today. Using scholarly research and class readings and discussions, write a 5-8 page research paper that explores an important aspect of families. In the first part of the assignment, you were asked to simply summarize the peer-reviewed journal articles and describe how you will approach your topic. In this final part of the assignment you will be expected to:  find (at least) one additional peer-reviewed scholarly journal article in order to focus your topic and add academic weight to your paper;  find connections and discrepancies between the readings;  use the research you have gathered to argue the “why”, “how”, and “what” behind what you see as an important issue facing families today; and  critically analyze your chosen topic. In other words, what have you learned from your research that helps give you more insight into how/in what ways the family is affected by your chosen topic? Organize your paper to include the following sections: o Begin the paper with a very clear introduction in which you state your general topic/research question and the 3-5 specific themes/subtopics you will write about in the paper. o Demonstrate/argue that it (your topic) is a problem to/for families. • Although not required, you are encouraged to use information from the class readings, class discussion, and/or websites that I have suggested/used in class in order to make the argument that the topic you have chosen is worth paying attention to. Use current, authoritative, reliable statistics in order to give context to this issue facing families. • Please be sure that your sources are authoritative (a .gov site is a great site to use for these purposes), and that you cite accordingly. You MUST cite the place from which you got ANY statistic that you use throughout your paper. o Summarize the research methods (explain how the data were collected) for each of the three academic articles. This section of your paper should be approximately 1-3 paragraphs. Include the general focus of each article writing about the types of research questions each article was answering. Identify how the data were collected for each of the studies you read. (Did the researchers conduct surveys? Interviews? Use data from a larger data set?) Family Issues Research Paper Sociology of the Family, spring ‘19 o Then, present 3-5 very specific issues/themes/subtopics related to your chosen topic. You should write 2-4 paragraphs per theme. These specific subtopics should emerge by fin ...

If your post is late for whatever reason please make sure your posts are posted by Day 7. I am no longer allowed to accept posts after Day 7 as per Walden’s Policy, and any posts. If you know that there is a circumstance that will prevent you for making the post on time or by Day 7, please email me to discuss. The way a reader (myself and other students) can see that you understand the information, theoretical models, concepts, and words you are discussing is to write about them in your own words as much as possible, tell us what the article authors said by paraphrasing, using your o.

Term Research Paper One of the primary goals of this course is to give students a broad understanding of the different components and the current state of the criminal justice system. Given however the number of components and the complexity of topics in the criminal justice field, another aim of this course is to guide students into becoming experts in one or more very specific areas. *You are expected to work independently on this paper throughout the duration of the course (this paper should be a work in progress throughout the term, if left until the end, it will conflict with your other exams/assignments). For this paper, each student is required to identify one specific topic of their interest and write a term paper. THE TOPIC FOR YOUR TERM PAPER CAN EITHER FOCUS ON AN ISSUE (e.g. the low ratio of women to men as state police officers, the use of bail as a proxy for discrimination based on race and poverty), OR SIMPLY DESCRIBE THE HISTORY/CURRENT STATE OF A CERTAIN AREA OF A COMPONENT OF THE SYSTEM (e.g. the police’s use of recording devices, riots in prisons, work programs in prison, increased militarization of the police). BE SURE TO SPECIFY IN YOUR PAPER, WHICH OF THESE TWO GOALS YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. Finding a topic that is narrow is crucial (e.g. officers accepting small gratuities, media coverage of mass murders). A large and vague topic is likely to produce a vague and low quality paper (e.g. discrimination in the CJ system is a large an vague topic). YOU MUST, PERSONALLY, OR THROUGH EMAIL, CONFIRM YOUR TOPIC WITH ME BY THE END OF THE THIRD WEEK OF THE COURSE. First, introduce this topic (i.e., introduce the topic to a casual reader), being sure to present evidence (from the literature) that supports your conclusion that the problem is worthy of concern (How serious is the problem? How common is the problem? And so on). This section should be about a page. Then summarize the available literature on the topic. It is wise to organize this review with appropriate subheadings to help you organize this information (e.g. historical overview, the role of certain key issues such as race or gender, as they relate to your topic, the role of policy, or whatever subheadings best fit your topic). Your review of the literature should constitute at least 5-6 pages of your paper. The last section of your paper—the discussion, should summarize the findings in your literature review and should include your own conclusion regarding your topic. This section gives you the opportunity to add your own opinion, based of course on what you have found in the literature. Your paper should have at least 8 scholarly sources (most of which will be journal articles or books) cited throughout the paper, and contain a bibliography at the end. As we review each week's chapters, I highly suggest being on the lookout for possible topics for your paper. As soon as you have one, email me so that I can approve it. Note: You may also identify topics from f ...

After time traveling through many periods in some of our oldest civilizations, I would have to say my favorite experience was experiencing Buddhism during its peak of spreading across China and Asia. I personally am very involved in Buddhism so time traveling back to this time was definitely my most prized time travel experience. Buddhism was able to acknowledge the difficult era of the Age of Division and the social struggles many went through, providing individuals with comfort and hope for the future. Since Buddhism brought peace and salvation, many who were seeking that took to this new belief system quickly. Buddhism attracted many people, from men to women, from many different religions and cultures. Since it was rising in popularity and many favored Buddhism, some dynasties like the Tang Dynasty made Buddhism it’s primary religion, (1). At first Buddhism was met with hostility since the Chinese preferred, “...An active social life, to an ascetic, contemplative one,” (Week 4 Lesson). Once individuals got past this, Buddhism grew favorably and influenced Chinese culture and art in a positive way. respond to this discussion question in 100 words .
