Assignment Overview: In this assignment, you will submit a complete (or very nearly complete) draft of your research paper. The more you submit in this assignment, the more feedback you will receive to aid you in creating a stronger final research paper.
Assignment Specifics:
Your research paper should be 7-10 pages (not including title page) with standard 1″ margins, double-spaced, and a 12-point standard font. You should closely adhere to the APA 7th edition for guidelines on formatting and sourcing.
Your paper will have the following sections:
Title Page: Use APA guidelines
Introduction: ~ 1/2-1 page
Use an introductory story or hook to get the audience interested in your topic. Provide background and context on your topic. Identify the research problem (what should be studied and why) and state your thesis (or present your research question/hypothesis). Remember, this paper should make an argument. Provide an overview of the paper.
Literature Review: ~4-6 pages
Your literature review should summarize relevant research/studies on the topic, identify major themes, and summarize the associations between and across a set concept/ideas. Remember, a literature review should analyze existing research within the topic to provide context to the topic, to identify gaps in the research (what hasn’t been studied), and position your own work within the field. Use subheadings to organize the themes within your literature review. Think of the literature review as a conversation between the researchers about what exists on the topic.
Theory/Theoretical Framework: ~2-3 pages
In this section, you will explain your chosen theory and connect it to your topic. Define key ideas or principles from your theory and explain how the theory guides your research questions. It is the bridge between your literature review and your methodology (which you will learn in your methods class — Qualitative, Rhetorical, or Quantitative) and explains how you will use the theory to explain your research findings.
Conclusion: ~ 1/2-1 page
Summarize your paper. Restate the thesis and explain the “so what” of this research (why does it matter to study).
References: as long as it needs to be
Include a source list of sources referenced within your paper, cited using APA 7th edition guidelines. You should have no less than 10-15 sources.
“THIS IS WHAT THE TEACHER WROTE BACK FROM THE FIRST DRAFT” “I HAVE ATTACHED MY PAPER WITH COMMENTS FROM THE PROFESSOR AND A EXAMPLE OF HOW THE PAPER SHOULD BE SETUP AND LOOK”
You have an interesting topic here. My main critiques would be to incorporate communication-specific research and develop a more robust theory section. Your literature review should include some direct citations from highly relevant sources. Relational dialectics is a good choice of theory to use here, but the theory section does not cite the scholar who developed the theory. This would strengthen your theory section.
There are a few minor errors in using APA formatting. Those would be easy to clean up quickly.
