Content and Analysis

(This is the description; not the section title.)

This section should have sub-sections for any topic that consists of more than two paragraphs. This helps to organize your thoughts and present your findings in a clear manner for your reader. This is where the main points of the paper are clearly developed. In addition, this portion of the paper should include classifications, explanations, comparisons, and inferences. Apply critical thinking to this section by using the appropriate judgments and assessments based on your evaluation and synthesis of information. This section will be in your own words as you will describe what you read or learned from the various sources that were reviewed. Do not include long, direct quotes from your sources. Use your voice by paraphrasing and using proper citations. This portion of the paper is a component of both the “Content” and the “Analysis and Critical Thinking” grade.
