Paper  2:  Topic  Overview   Assignment  Description  and  Rubric  

Paper  2:  An  overview  of  the  topic  from  each  concentration  (includes  introduction)     For  this  assignment,  you  are  going  to  explore  each  concentration’s  understanding  of   your  issue  more  in  depth.  This  portion  should  be  roughly  8  pages  (10-­‐11  pages  total   including  your  introduction  from  paper  1).       Be  sure  you  include:   • Your  introduction  (Paper  1),  with  any  revisions  based  on  my  feedback.   • Summarize  the  current  understanding  of  the  topic  by  each  of  your  concentrations.  

Aim  for  about  4  pages  per  concentration.     • Try  to  remember  as  you  are  outlining  and  organizing  your  paper  that  you  are  

setting  yourself  up  to  integrate  these  ideas  to  more  fully  explain  your  topic.   As  such,  be  sure  to  pay  special  attention  to  ideas  which  almost  work,  or   which  are  perhaps  missing  a  key  insight  that  would  lead  to  a  better  more   holistic  understanding.    

 

Requirements:   • Do  NOT  use  I,  me,  my,  etc  anywhere  in  your  papers.  Use  professional  academic  

language.   • You  must  use  at  least  four  sources  from  each  concentration.  They  must  be  from  

peer  reviewed  academic  journals.  Use  appropriate  APA  citations  in  text  and   include  a  reference  page  at  the  end.  

• Follow  all  requirements  of  academic  honesty.  Cite  any  idea  that  is  not  entirely   your  own  with  both  an  in-­‐text  citation  and  a  full  reference  at  the  end.  

    Submit  your  paper  as  a  doc  file  to  the  appropriate  dropbox  on  Blackboard.
