Research Paper Topic and Thesis

I have read and understand “A Word about the Thesis.” My thesis and research paper topic are

submitted for consideration.

Topic: Child Abuse

Thesis: Child abuse has become a big problem in our society. Child abuse can be classified as

Sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect and emotional abuse. If an abused child gets help earlier,

the chances are high that they will likely break the cycle and heal.

The Works Cited page below contains the source of my online research that supports my thesis.

Your thesis has some grammar problems, but the major problem is that it is three sentences. Review “A Word about the Thesis.” The thesis must be how many sentences?

The word highlighted in yellow should not be capitalized.

Forms of the verb “be” (circled) are not permitted in the thesis.

See my comments below.

Commented [MW1]: Do not bold anything in EH 1302.

Commented [MW2]: Serial comma needed.

Work Cited

Kleinman, P. K. (Ed.). (2015). Diagnostic imaging of child abuse. Cambridge University Press.

The citation is incomplete, and the information is not correctly ordered.

Certain information is required in a citation, and there is a specific order in which to list the components of a citation. I provided a handout entitled “Additional Example of a Works Cited Page,” and that document lists the information and the order. Here it is again.

Last name, first name of the author followed by a period

The title of the article in quotation marks

The date of the article (day, month, and year) followed by a period

The name of the Website (italicized) followed by a period

The full Web page address (URL) without the protocol https:// and the host www

Place a period at the end of the URL.

The date the student accessed the Web page followed by a period

If there is no author of the article, begin the citation with the title of the article.

If the article is not dated, use the abbreviation n.d. in place of the date.

If the article has no date and no author, seriously question its credibility.

For additional help with the Works Cited page and citations, review the model essay and the examples in the Handouts and Course Documents section. Also see the “How To” section for examples of citing the Bible and other variations of multiple authors of one source and multiple sources with one author.

The grade below is temporary contingent upon your resubmission of this assignment. After your topic and thesis are finally approved by the instructor, a permanent grade will be assigned.

After reading my comments above and revising this assignment, please resubmit it NLT October 23, 2017, so that the grade below can be changed to something decent.
