Assignment Expectations

Length: This assignment should be 4-5 pages, not counting the cover page and references.

Assessment and Grading: Your work will be assessed based on the performance assessment rubric that is linked within the course. Review it before you begin working on the assignment.

Source Citations in the Body of the Paper: Cite sources in the body of the paper to provide supporting evidence for main points and definitive statements; to identify where you found your information; and to give credit to those whose ideas you are using.

References: Use reliable, authoritative, and credible sources as your references, such as, professional and established periodicals; peer-reviewed journal articles are preferred. If you use the internet to find articles, make sure the sources are credible. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source.

Originality of Content: Quoted material should not exceed 10% of the total paper (since the focus of these assignments is critical thinking). Direct quotes are rarely necessary; students who use them when unnecessary will forfeit credit for critical thinking. For verbatim/direct quotes, enclose the quoted text in quotation marks and then cite the author, date, and location within the source (i.e., page number, paragraph number, or time stamp). For paraphrased ideas, you must give credit to the original author in an in-text citation.
