The purpose of this assignment is to help you apply what you have learned about methods of studying families and children to a research proposal for academic audiences. You need to complete this paper from a primary researcher’s perspective. Think about how you as a primary researcher would conduct a study and write up details of your study. You must cite references to bolster your sentences or claims in the paper. • Follow this outline and use the headings (see examples on p. 2). • Make sure that each section meets the length requirements (points will be deducted for shorter sections). • The minimum number of pages is 4 and the maximum number of pages is 8 (these do not include the bibliography pages; points will be deducted for shorter and longer papers). • Double-space your paper and use 1” margins (i.e., the “normal” margins in Word). • Use 12-point Times New Roman font. • Use complete sentences. • Put in-text citations directly after the content that is not your own work (even though you have rephrased it). Do not place a citation after every paragraph; citations must immediately follow the content that you cite (see examples on p. 3). • Submit your paper as a Word document via Canvas. The grade on papers that are not submitted as a Word document will be reduced by 10 points immediately. Additional 5 points per day will be deducted from your paper score from when you are notified of your inaccurate submission to when you correctly submit your Word document. • Use in-text citations, write in your own words, and include references (see an example on p. 3) at the end of your paper using APA format or other writing format from your own disciplines. • Any academic misconduct will be referred to university officials and will result in an overall grade of 0 for this assignment. Refer to the syllabus to see what constitutes plagiarism.
