The Week 8 assignment is a descriptive/informative research paper on the topic selected for your week 4 assignment. You will use the outline and scholarly sources from the annotated bibliography to develop the paper.
The goal of the assignment is to allow you to gain greater insight on a given topic and provide an opportunity for self-enrichment. APA guidelines limit the number of direct quotes that can be used in a research paper to only two or three brief quotes. You should express ideas in your own words, paraphrasing and summarizing accurately. All quotes, paraphrases, and summaries must be properly documented. This website will help you to understand how to quote and paraphrase effectively: http://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QuotingSources.html
Your paper must be a minimum of five pages, double spaced, using one-inch margins on all sides–no extra. The required title and reference pages DO NOT count toward the minimum number of pages of content that are required.
