Lesen<br>TERM PAPER GUIDELINES<br>This goal of assignment is to help you hone your skills in researching a topic and presenting your research in<br>writing. The purpose of the term paper is so you can get practice doing the following:<br>\u2022 Selecting trustworthy academic sources<br>\u2022 Building an argument or take a stance on a topic, BACKED UP BY RESEARCH YOU HAVE READ.<br>\u2022 Writing a properly formatted paper with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>PROPER CITATIONS<\/li><li>CORRECT GRAMMAR<\/li><li>FORMAL LANGUAGE<\/li><li>GOOD ORGANIZATION<br>You will choose a topic. You will do library research and select AT LEAST THREE RECENT (published no<br>earlier than the year 2010) peer-reviewed journal articles which address the topic. You must cite these<br>sources within the text of your report. This means you must have at least three sources in the<br>bibliography for your paper. All the sources in your bibliography must be cited within the body of the<br>report. You will write a 5 page paper (this means 5 pages of TEXT, double spaced, page margins 1 inch all<br>around, font must be Times New Roman 12 pt) describing this recent research and why it is important or<br>relevant to the field. List them at the end of the report in your \u201cWorks Cited\u201d section.<br>Format of the term paper:<br>ON THE FIRST PAGE:<br>\u2022 Include your name and the date you are submitting the paper<br>\u2022 The title of your term paper<br>You should have four main sections.<br>1) Introduction \u2013 Explain the topic, some history of the topic in biology, and what you will discuss in the paper:<br>Introduce the main topic:<br>\u2022 Background about the topic.<br>\u2022 Somewhere in the introduction (usually at or towards the end of the introduction), should be your thesis<br>statement = What are you arguing? Or what is your question?<br>*The introduction sets up the rest of the paper.<br>2) Body of the paper. This is where you present information from the sources you read AND build an<br>argument, drawing your own conclusions from the sources you found. Explain why this research was important<br>to the field, and any new contributions made or any academic controversy it created. Be sure to put the<br>research into a historical context within the field.<br>Some general tips for writing the body of the paper:<br>\u2022 The body of the paper should be focused on topics or issues surrounding your main topic: for example<br>if your paper topic is health disparities in urban communities, you might address some of the following<br>issues or questions in your paper. PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL DEPEND ON THE INFORMATION YOU<br>HAVE FOUND IN YOUR SOURCES!<\/li><li>Discuss some of the main types of health disparities in cities and who is affected. (For example,<br>more African American people tend to have asthma in cities in the U.S.)<\/li><li>What are the geographic patterns of these health disparities? (For example, are there different<br>health disparities in cities in the north versus south? East versus west?)<\/li><li>What seem to be the causes of these health disparities? (For example, are highways and other<br>places with a lot of car exhaust situated near communities of color?)<\/li><li>What might be some ways to solve health disparities? (For example, regulations about where<br>certain pollutants can be located in cities, better access to certain types of healthcare.)<br>\u2022 All of this should be backed up by information you have found in your sources. And should be cited.<br>You may sometimes state your opinion or viewpoint, but it must be supported by evidence youhave<br>found.<br>2<br>3) Conclusion \u2013 Summary of the arguments you made in the paper and a summary of YOURCONCLUSIONS<br>or OPINIONS, backed up by your research.<br>\u2022 Remind the reader on your main points and thesis.<br>\u2022 What are the take-aways?<br>\u2022 What are the implications for the future?<br>\u2022 Concluding sentence or sentences.<br>4) Works Cited or References \u2013 Your bibliography of at least three published sources must be in APA<br>format:<br>\u2022 This is the best reference for APA style:<br>https:\/\/owl.purdue.edu\/owl\/research_and_citation\/apa_style\/apa_formatting_and_style_guide\/general_form<br>at.html<br>NO LATE REPORTS<br>A note on plagiarism:<br>Plagiarism: To plagiarize is \u201cto steal or pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one&#8217;s own.\u201d This means<br>that, in writing assignments, you will be expected to cite references for the information you provide, and any<br>time you quite directly from a source you are expected to acknowledge the quote and the source. Students<br>suspected of plagiarism will be questioned and\/or asked to provide their sources. If the instructor feels that<br>plagiarism or cheating has occurred, the student could receive an F in the course and the appropriate judicial<br>action will be taken.<br>\u2022 I TAKE PLAGIARISM VERY SERIOUSLY. IT IS EASY FOR ME TO TELL WHEN YOU HAVE<br>PLAGIARIZED A WEBSITE OR AN ARTICLE. EXCUSES FOR PLAGIARISM WILL NOT BE<br>ACCEPTED. YOU WILL RECEIVE AN \u201cF\u201d ON ANY REPORT OR ASSIGNMENT IN WHICH YOU<br>PLAGIARIZE.<br>\u2022 Plagiarism includes: 1) Handing in the work of another student; 2) Handing in a paper or assignment that<br>includes text taken DIRECTLY from a website or article or book that IS NOT IN QUOTATION MARKS and<br>HAS NOT BEEN CITED OR REFERENCED PROPERLY.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1Senior SeminarDillard UniversityDr. Amy E.
