I will also need an outline with this assignment that is due this Sunday, November 15th at 6pm eastern time.  It is actually one of the pages included in the number of pages needed. 

The actual research paper is 8 pages.  Outline instructions: Instructions:  You will submit a sentence outline of your research paper, following the example in this week’s reading. The student example is attached here.  

Your outline must include your thesis statement, a description of the problem, alternative solutions, and the solution you are advocating.  Be sure that the elements of the outline are complete sentences.  Please note that, if you have one subheading in a category, you should have a second subheading.   

Instruction for actual Research Paper: Assignment Instructions Instructions: Using a minimum of 7 credible sources, with at least 4 sources coming from peer-reviewed journals taken from the APUS library, write a research paper about a topic related to your major or intended career, which follows the problem solution strategy. The paper must be original to this course–no recycling, please!  Format your paper according to the guidelines that are given for your particular curricular division, that is, the curricular division in which the subject for your paper is located. You must choose one of the following documentation styles: APA, MLA, or Chicago.

Length: The research paper should be 9 to 10 pages in length. The page count does not include the Works Cited, Reference, or Bibliography page, or the title page or abstract if required by your documentation style. The page count refers only to the text of the paper itself. You will lose points on your final research project if you go over the 10 page  limit by more than 250 words.

Part of effective writing is being able to complete the assignment within the designated limits set. Sources:  Your final source page should contain at least 7 sources; you will lose points if you have fewer. Points will also be deducted if you do not consistently follow the format rules for the style you are using in your paper.

Use the APUS Citation Guides for determining proper citation format here; automatic citation programs are not always correct. Important step:  Please be sure that your research paper is submitted here as a Word file. It will then be processed in Turnitin. DISCLAIMER: Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results.
