Objectives
The purpose of the APA Research Paper: Final Paper activity is to:
Produce a paper that is written in APA 7th edition style formatting, including in-text citations, and references (CO 5)
Create a clear, well-developed thesis statement pertaining to an appropriate topic (CO 1, CO 2, CO 3)
Present the topic in an organized, concise, interesting manner, which incorporates the student’s own original thought (CO 1, CO 2, CO 3)
Incorporate evidence from reliable sources that support the discussion/thoughts of the paper in the form of direct quotations, summaries, and paraphrases (CO 6)
Method of Evaluation 
Students are required to complete a APA Research Paper: Final Paper which is worth 25% of their overall grade.
Guidelines
Students must complete the following papers: (i) a Personal Essay, (ii) a Business Writing Assignment and (iii) an APA Research Paper. Each of these papers must be submitted through Canvas in order for the paper to be uploaded to Turnitin®.
The APA Research Paper must follow the guidelines set forth by the American Psychological Association. The Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue University houses writing resources and instructional (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/10/Links to an external site.) that will assist with APA writing. The research paper should focus on a current trend, event or issues occurring in your field of study.
The APA research paper will be graded pursuant to the guidelines set forth in Exhibit B. Students are expected to understand these guidelines and ensure that their assignments incorporate them.
The research paper involves three major activities:
Choosing a Topic: Choose a topic for your research paper that is focused and about which you can ask a specific research question. Avoid encyclopedia-style reports on a general topic; such broad topics can become overwhelming and do not allow for purposeful research. For example, choosing for your topic a condition such as “diabetes” or “autism,” a setting such as “airports,” or an issue such as “ethics” will likely make for a shallow paper. Instead, ask a focused question about your topic. Then generate your thesis in answer to this question.
Outlining for APA Research Paper: You must submit a detailed outline of your research paper. Outlines may be in one of several formats, as directed by your course instructor, but all outlines must include the following: (i) a separate outline point for each paragraph, (ii) a point for your introduction that includes your thesis statement, (iii) at least three (3) body paragraph points, each with at least two subpoints illustrating the paragraph’s topic, and (iv) a point for a concluding paragraph. Your outline should be single spaced and no shorter than a full page.
Writing the APA Research Paper: The paper should be between five and seven pages in length (not including cover page, abstract, references, exhibits, etc.) and incorporate a minimum of seven (7) credible references. The paper must be written and presented in APA style (including, margins, citations, headings, etc.). You will be responsible for submitting a rough draft, the final paper and presenting your findings to the class.
The rubric below will be utilized to grade the paper.

Abstract
Begin typing abstract here. Most abstracts are between 150-250 words. Do not write more than 300 words. Make sure to use double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font. The abstract is like the back or the inside cover of a work of fiction. It gives the reader a general understanding of what the paper will be about without giving away all the specific details. If necessary, look for examples of abstracts in scholarly journal articles to get an idea of how to compose. Make sure that you do not indent your paragraphs. 
If you need another paragraph, simply press enter and begin typing. DO NOT copy and paste the introduction of the paper into the abstract. You can include a rephrased form of your thesis, but do not include your thesis statement verbatim: this will make your paper sound repetitious. 
Keywords: English, composition, template, APA
Full, Formal Title of Paper/Report
Begin your introductory paragraph here. Make sure to accomplish, at the least, 3 goals: engage your reader, establish your direction, and introduce your line of thought (state your thesis). Your thesis statement must be positioned as the last (or the second-to-last) sentence of your introductory paragraph. While writing a paper, it is prudent practice to reread the thesis often. At minimum, review the main points of the thesis before beginning each new section within the paper. 
Section Headings
If you have filled out your section headings on your outline, you can simply convert your titles into your paper’s Section Headings. Make sure these words are centered, bolded, and typed in Times New Roman 12 point font. These headings should be as concise as possible; use minimal verbiage. Remember that there should be multiple paragraphs within each main section. Subheadings or subsections are not required in this course. 
Section Headings
The second section should begin here. Make sure to refer to the example paper provided to see how the paper should be structured. 
Section Headings
The third section should begin here. Make sure to refer to the example paper provided to see how the paper should be structured. 
Conclusion
The paper’s conclusion should have it’s own section heading. Make sure to refer to the example paper provided to see how the paper should be structured.
References
The references should be placed on their own page. Make sure your spacing is correct! For more information about creating your references page, refer to the APA manual style guide.
