For your final paper, due in Week 16, you will write a PERSUASIVE RESEARCH PAPER on the topic of your choosing. In Week 14 you will need to submit a rough draft (minimum of 6 pages with 3-5 proposed academic sources) and participate in peer reviews.
For this discussion, you will post your proposed outline for the week 16 paper. This outline should include a rough idea of the topic and thesis statement, and what points you want to write about. You also need to list 2-3 sources which you are considering using. Remember, you must choose a topic which is relevant to nursing and/or healthcare.
For reference, your final Week 16 paper must meet the below requirements. Keep these in mind as you craft your outline for it:
Your essay should be a Persuasive Research Paper
Have a Cover page, in APA style
Have a References page, in APA style
Have 3-5 scholarly sources cited in the body of the paper in APA format.
Have 3-5 scholarly sources with full citations on a References page in APA format.
Be 12-15 pages in length
Contain a clear, debatable, thesis statement
Be double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12pt font, and have 1-inch margins
Your peer responses should help your peers’ to further develop their essays. Let them know what you think: are they on the right track? Is there anything missing from the outline that might be helpful? Is the essay clear in it’s organization so far? How about the sources: do they seem reliable, academic, and scholarly?
