In this assignment, students will develop research ideas related to their chosen topics and then use those ideas to create the final research paper.

 

The assignment is divided into two submissions: research proposal (20%) and final paper (80%).

 

A.     Research Proposal:

Student will propose the main idea/focus/or research interest according to their topic. The proposal must include 3-4 references (journal articles) that will be used for writing the content of the final paper.

 

Example:

 

Topic: Lean Manufacturing

 

Focus:  This paper focuses on applying lean manufacturing in healthcare operation. The paper will describe steps for implementing lean principles and identify challenges of lean implementation in healthcare facilities.

             

Journal Articles:

1.      Pruthi, R. S., & Raynor, M. C. (2014, May). Enhanced recovery programmes: an important step towards going lean in healthcare. BJU International. pp. 685-686. doi:10.1111/bju.12584.

2.      Kinder, T., & Burgoyne, T. (2013). Information Processing and the Challenges Facing Lean Healthcare. Financial Accountability & Management, 29(3), 271-290. doi:10.1111/faam.12016

B.     Final Paper:

Student writes full research paper (minimum 4 pages). The paper must include introduction and conclusion sections. In-text references must be used throughout the paper. 

 

Paper Format: Follow APA style strictly

 

Suggestions:

1.      Start working on the proposal/paper soon after the first class meeting.

 

2.      Must use your own words. If originality check shows 20% or more for the paper content, the paper will receive zero.

 

3.      Proofread the final paper before submitting, each misspelling will count for one point loss in the paper.

 

4.      It is a good idea to develop an outline before your writing so that you may have clear vision on your writing outcome.

 

5.      Avoid unnecessary lists or bullet points that are used for making up the space.

 

6.      Make everything clear and concise. All references in the proposal must be used in your final paper.
