Week 3 assignment

Instructions: You must submit a Research Paper Outline by the end of Week 3 of the course. Your outline will use the topic approved by the professor in Week 2. Your outline should include the standard sections outlined in APA 6th edition style guide (Cover Page, body of outline). Your outline should have standard section headings (Introduction, Discussion, Analysis, Conclusion) and your outline should lay out a thesis / theme statement as part of your Introduction. The outline should also lay out the key points you will use to support your thesis / theme statement as part of your Discussion / Analysis, providing a key point underpinned by 3-4 brief bullets / sentences that describe the point you will be making. Your Conclusion section should list the key summary points that you will make. The intent of the Outline assignment is to organize your key thoughts so that you can write a coherent, supportive, and linked paper that carries the thesis / theme statement through a critical analysis of your topic. Your Research Paper References will be submitted in a separate assignment. See the Writing Expectations contained in the Policies section of the Syllabus for additional guidance. There is also an exemplar provided with the Assignment instructions for your review.

Submission Instructions: See the Writing Instructions in your Syllabus as well as inserted below. Please submit a Word document in the defined format to your Assignment folder by 11:55PM, Sunday, EST. Your writing assignment should also be run through TurnItIn to aid in preparing for your Final Research Paper and also as a tool to help with proper citation of research source material and appropriate attribution of that material. See the TurnItIn instructions contained in the course Lessons area (www.turnitin.com).
