Q M7A1: Final Draft of the Research Paper For this writing scenario, you are required to take your research idea from the annotated bibliography you developed in Module 6 and turn it into a formal paper for a small journal in your field. Your colleagues were so interested in your research that they encouraged you to try to find a way to publish it. Your assignment is to develop a short, thesis-based research essay written in a formal style, appropriate for an academic setting. Your research essay should be 1000 to 1250 words, include a strong thesis, and incorporate three to five scholarly sources. Your goal is to use your research topic from Module 6 and develop it into an interesting and engaging essay that is both informative and persuasive about the issue you chose for your research topic. See the Course Calendar for the due date. Compose your work in a .doc or .docx file type using a word processor (such as Microsoft Word, etc.) and save it frequently to your computer. For those assignments that are not written essays and require uploading images or PowerPoint slides, please follow uploading guidelines provided by your instructor.

You will be able to view an Originality Report within minutes of your first submission that will show how much of your work has been identified as similar to other sources such as websites, textbooks, or other student papers. Use your Originality Report as a learning tool to identify areas of your assignment that you may not have cited appropriately. You may resubmit your assignment through this dropbox as many times as you need to check to see if you have made improvements, until the due date of the assignment.
