Requirements:
Answer one research paper question from the list below. If you wish to develop your own research question, please discuss with the course instructor to make sure the research question is relevant to the course.
In Word document, 1500 words, Times New Roman, Cover Page, 1.5 spacing, APA referencing style.
Reading guidance:
The research paper has to draw on academic literature. Wide-ranging reading is therefore an essential component of this assignment. You should use the library database and/or Google Scholar to identify academic resources. If you find a reliable source that is particularly inspiring and informative, it may be worth checking the bibliography and reading some of the sources cited.
Please ensure that all your reading comes from scholarly sources (i.e., academic journals and academic books).
Please avoid paying journal paywall fees. Check UTRGV’s journal subscriptions first and/or try to request the article via interlibrary loans. Finally, if all your searches prove unsuccessful, email me, I may be able to help!
In the research paper, you should have a minimum of 5 different scholarly sources cited.
Referencing and bibliography:
I expect you to use APA referencing style. Detailed guidelines on how to use this style are available here: https://utrgv.libguides.com/Library-APA-Guide
Do not forget to include a bibliography as part of your research paper. The bibliography is not included in the word count.
