For
the Final Project (due at the end of Unit 9), you will write an academic essay
that informs an audience about ONE specific skill, quality, or behavior
necessary for success in the field of study you are currently studying.
Your
audience is people currently studying for a degree in this field. You have a
choice as to your writing goal. You can choose to either focus on explaining
WHY this skill, quality or behavior is valuable to their success in the field
OR you can instead choose to explain ways that they can develop this skill,
quality or behavior. The one skill, quality or behavior you focus on must be
specific (Accounting skills is too broad a topic, for example).
MY FIELD STUDY IS EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
Your Final Project essay should meet the following
guidelines:
1.
It must be an essay of between 750-1000 words.
2.
It must be informative, rather than persuasive
in nature.
3.
It must have a clear introduction and
conclusion.
4.
It must have a clear thesis that limits the
topic and establishes the essay’s main
point.
5.
It must develop the thesis with a combination of
original thought and resource material.
6.
It must incorporate at least three reliable
sources appropriately; source material should be used to develop the writer’s
ideas, rather than becoming the focus of the paper. At least one of those
sources must be from the Kaplan University Library.
7.
It must avoid unreliable sources or sources
inappropriate for an academic essay, including but not limited to Wikipedia.
8.
Source material, whether it is quoted or
paraphrased, must be given appropriate credit, including in text citations and
a citation in the References page.
9.
It must follow APA format requirements,
including an appropriately formatted title page, 12 point Times New Roman font,
double spaced paragraphs and one inch margins.
10. It
should be written with an appropriate level of formality, avoiding first and
second person.
