Unit I Research Paper

Instructions

For your first submission, you will need to choose a topic within one of the sixteen chapters in your textbook and write an in-depth research paper on that topic. In Unit I you will submit your research topic with a one-page synopsis detailing the goal of your paper for approval by your instructor.

Note: This is often the most difficult part of the research process. Here are some tips to getting started with your research paper:

Write down multiple research topics and choose which you find most appealing.

Use personal or professional experience to establish a research topic.

Ask your professor for guidance.

Utilize the CSU Online Library and the resident Librarians (for research help).

Peruse your textbook for interesting topics.

Include 2 references you’ll be citing in your paper.

Review the course objectives and see if any spark interest.

Your topic should be at least 1 page, double spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. font, with appropriate APA style writing.

Note: Two of the assignments in this course (Unit I Research Paper Topic and the Unit IV Outline) are designed to build upon each other in order to produce a solid final product (the research paper) which will be due in Unit VIII. Consequently, both should be completed and submitted in order to allow for faculty review. A quick submission of these assignments, or submitting them out of order, may not allow the faculty member sufficient time for substantive feedback. This may result in a less than satisfactory grade. Please contact the professor with any questions about the assignments in the course.
