R 500 APA-Grammar-English Paper Rubric
- Choose a topic you are considering doing your research.
- Find 3 articles on your chosen topic.
- Write a one to two-page paper on why this topic is important to the nursing profession.
- Notice, I did not ask for your opinion. The paper will have how the problem is impacting nursing, it will have quantitative or qualitative evidence and it will not have your opinion.
- This paper will require a title and reference page in addition to the body of the paper.
- This paper will include a minimum of six in-text citation, and three references.
- The references accepted are peer-reviewed. I will not accept web md, blogs, or opinions. We will have reviewed APA, English and proper grammar in class, I take off one point for every APA, English, and grammar error.How does this impact your grade? You might get a 100% on content and lose 50 point on errors.
- My suggestion is you pair up with a fellow student in class and they become your peer-review buddy. My suggestion is you tear each other’s papers apart. Otherwise, I will. When I tear your paper apart, you can earn a failing grade.
