Assignment:
“The scholarly paper ultimately accounts for 20% of your grade, making it an important deliverable of the course. Graduate level, scholarly writing* is the priority. See * below). In addition, faculty members pay attention to the mechanics of APA style and paper construction. Note – You must follow the APA template in Course Documents. This helps to lay the foundation for the rest of your coursework, and ultimately your capstone project.
Remember that this is a *scholarly paper.
– Cite references often and correctly. You must ground your paper in the literature.
– The emphasis is on facts and factual information (thus the need to cite references).
– Avoid inserting your opinion. Unless you are a published author or field expert, your opinions have no place in a scholarly paper If you are a field expert, you may add your thoughts to the paper, but only if you can support those thoughts with current literature.
– Avoid gross exaggeration words like “exponential” and “every day.”
– Avoid personal pronouns like me, I, you etc. Stay in the third person.
– Don‘t mix singular words like “first responder” with plural words “they.”
– Read your paper out loud to yourself before you submit it. Make sure your thoughts are readable and make sense. You will likely find incomplete sentences (usually missing a verb) as you do this.

*** Paper length should be approximately 3500 focused words (not counting cover page and reference list), but substance is more important than volume. Use recent articles (5-10 years depending on the subject) from peer-reviewed journals as well as textbooks. Texts are often out of date soon after published. Expect to use no fewer than 10 references. See link below for a description of writing an outline. Writing an outline greatly improves your paper’s organization.”
