It must be peer-reviewed based, and not, for example, what amounts often to just a book review reproducing somebody else's story. Synthesize it all and relate back to you empirical findings. Make sure to select empirically based papers to compare your results to and evaluate, etc.! STEPS/TIPS: -Select a topic related to course readings and discussions. -Research primary and secondary sources and consider all points of view. -Prepare an abstract and outline in which you state the purpose of your paper. -Write a rough draft after approval of your topic is received. -Support your findings with documented facts, examples, quotations, charts, graphs, etc. -Make sure your paper has an introduction, a main body, and a conclusion. -Proofread your drafts before submitting (for writing accuracy and editorial integrity). -Make revisions and corrections once you receive feedback from professor.- Use Google Scholar for quick access to peerreview publications.-Consult your library resources for additional journal articles (ask a reference librarian).

Answer questions you pose, etc.?) -Writing (Organization of the writing: structure of paragraphs and logical flow)
