- Introduction to Topic: For your introduction, you should write a
150-word paragraph which clearly explains the topic, the importance of
further research, ethical implications, and how the topic relates to one’s
academic and professional pursuits. Make sure you effectively inform the
reader of the rationale behind your topic. - Thesis statement:
Write a direct and concise thesis statement, which will become the point
or perspective you will argue or prove in the Final Research Project. A
thesis statement should be a single declarative sentence that makes one
point in 25 words or less. The thesis statement must appear within the
introduction paragraph. - Annotated Bibliography: To help prepare for your Final Research
Project, write an annotated bibliography to indicate the quality of the
sources you have read. The bibliography must include no less than five
scholarly sources that will be used to support the major points of the
Final Research Project. Critical thinking skills need to be demonstrated
by accurately interpreting evidence used to support various positions of
the topic. Please make sure to provide full reference information in
accordance with APA style as outlined in theAshford Writing Center. Write a brief paragraph (around 150 words)
summarizing the source and explaining how it is pertinent and relevant to
the topic of the project and how each source will support your thesis
statement. See theSample Annotated Bibliography in the Ashford Writing Center for more
detailed information. Keep in mind the academic research standards for all
Ashford University papers.
