References
The paper should range from 10-20 pages double space, APA format – Font ‘Times New Roman’, 12 point Font size, 1 inch margins, double-spaced, and indented paragraphs.
My recommendations are as you prepare for the final are below:
* This is a research paper, so you should only be provide evidence based information, from articles, interviews, and other reliable sources, not your personal opinion and perspective, unless you’re in the personal reflection/position section of this paper.
* I strongly suggest that you review some problem definition as your statements do not adequately articulate the problem that the bill is attempting to address, why it matters, the percentage of individuals looking for organ transfers in the state, and how do you know that these individuals are being oppressed – where did you source this from? Discrimination is not oppression, if from your research, it is oppression it it sexism, racism, ableism, or classism – what’s the core of this mistreatment?
Additionally, did you speak to any of your representatives and I want you to answer the question for each section, you do not need to tell me what that representative does in that role, I am concerned about their action as it relates to your bill.
* Find scholarly articles using the SW 3600 research library page of a state that passed a similar bill and disclose the impact as well as challenge to increase the validity of your personal reflections, but add to policy implementation section.
For context, this bill was originally introduced in 2021, here is an article, did you find out why it did not pass in 2020? https://freshtakegeorgia.org/new-georgia-law-to-ban-discrimination-in-organ-transplant-process/
* Please schedule an appointment with the writing studio, as there are sentence fragments and inconclusive statements throughout your paper. As well, as your paper lacks sufficient citations AND heading structure is not in the appropriate format.
* In your interviews with 5 bill sponsors/supporters, they all said the same thing?
In coalition member section, who are the alliances that you’re referencing?
Also, can you advise the administrators that you spoke with in the in-district meetings that you reference for validity?
* Also, I would strongly suggest that in your personal position section, you advise the benefits from evidence-based research on the benefit for longer trainings and the positive impact based on research.
Here is the feedback, my prof gave me and she said this is the research paper so focus more on scholarly articles.
