Project Overview
For this assignment you will write a paper relating a topic in physical
science to your career field or other real-world practical application. You must
use at least three different sources, and cite them in the paper and on a
separate references page.
Your paper must include the following:
- Introduction
- Present relevant background or contextual material.
- Define terms or concepts when necessary.
- Explain the focus of the paper and your specific purpose.
- Reveal your plan of organization.
- Body
- Build your essay around points you want to make (i.e., don’t let your
sources organize your paper). - Integrate at least three sources into your discussion.
- Summarize, analyze, explain, and evaluate referenced work rather than merely
reporting it. - Move up and down the “ladder of abstraction” from generalization to varying
levels of detail back to generalization. - Conclusion
- If the argument or point of your paper is complex, you may need to summarize
the argument for your reader. - If prior to your conclusion you have not yet explained the significance of
your findings or if you are proceeding inductively, use the end of your paper to
add your points up and to explain their significance. - Move from a detailed to a general level of consideration that returns the
topic to the context provided by the introduction. - Perhaps suggest what about this topic needs further research.
- Personal Evaluation
- State your opinion in the first sentence of the paragraph.
- In the body of the paragraph, give at least three reasons why you think and
feel as you do. Include both facts and examples to support your opinion. - End with a sentence that sums up and restates your opinion.
- Suggest what, if any, improvement should be applied to your topic.
- Write an appreciation statement regarding the connection of physical science
to the world in which we live; discuss how this topic has helped you in your
career or everyday life. - Most importantly, this must be in your own words.
- References (on a separate page)
- Cite at least three sources using APA format.
NB: CANi HAVE THE BODY ON A TWO PAGES ONLY..
