Research Paper: Final Assignment Instructions
Overview
Assigning a career research paper for this course serves several express purposes. First, this research will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about an occupation of particular interest to you. Second, performing this research will introduce you to the literature and the skills needed to navigate it. Third, how well your research document conforms to the required form and format will demonstrate your attention to detail and instruction. Such attention to detail is a measurable item. Finally, well-documented research will show your ability to communicate via the written word.
There are three deliverables in this assignment: Topic Selection, Annotated Bibliography, Final Paper. These are discussed briefly below.
Research Paper: Topic Selection:
The easiest approach for selecting an occupation for your research is to search the Internet for background data. Simply do a search for “Computer Technology Careers.” The most up-to-date information on this subject is found online, and this exercise will sharpen your Internet search skills.
Research Paper: Annotated Bibliography Assignment:
Occurring at the midpoint of your research is an annotated bibliography. The assignment is, exactly as the name says implies—a bibliography that includes summary comments about each resource. It serves two purposes in the research process. First, as a graded assignment, it ensures you are researching your topic early enough to improve the overall quality of your final. Second, when done correctly, it becomes a partial draft of your final paper reference page.
Research Paper: Final Assignment
Follow all the instructions on this page and in the Research Paper Template. Your ability to follow instructions is an important part of this deliverable and your grade.
Instructions
First, and maybe most important, a template has been provided in your course shell. Use that template. Students who chose another template often miss the gradable items that are built into the templates provided in the course shell.
You must maintain the format and organization of the provided template to create your document. The template exhibits the proper APA format; just make sure you keep it. You will see yellow highlighted text in the Research Paper Template. These provide comments on content required or on format. You must delete all yellow highlights and add you own work.
Your paper must be at least 6 pages (not including the Cover page and reference page). The research may include figures, tables, or diagrams, but these items (as well) are not included in the page count.
Your Research Paper: Final Assignment must be saved as a Word file (.docx) file. File types other than Word will not be accepted.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

Add Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines
Author Name(s), First M. Last, Omit Titles and Degrees
Institutional Affiliation(s)
Author Note
Include any grant/funding information and a complete correspondence address.
Abstract
The abstract should be one paragraph of between 150 and 250 words. It is not indented. Section titles, such as the word Abstract above, are not considered headings so they don’t use bold heading format. Instead, use the Section Title style. This style automatically starts your section on a new page, so you don’t have to add page breaks. (To see your document with pagination, on the View tab, click Reading View.) Note that all text styles for this template are available on the Home tab of the ribbon, in the Styles gallery.
Keywords: Add keywords here. To replace this (or any) tip text with your own, just select it and then start typing. Don’t include space to the right or left of the characters in your selection.

Add Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines.
This starts your paper with an introduction. APA style assumes the first paragraph is the research introduction, so it is not appropriate to have the heading of Introduction. For a complete introduction, you would want to start by motivating the reader. Relate your topic in a way that makes your reader want to read your research. Second, the introduction needs to provide an outline of the paper. Introductions are often written after the research report is completed.
