SPECIFIC PAPER INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Using the questions posed for each of the above topics EACH MEMBER of the group must write a ‘mini-paper’ on their group topic in their own words (i.e. your papers cannot be identical). Each paper must address/answer the questions posed that are listed in BOLD print, and can include some or all of the remaining questions, as desired or needed to address their thesis.
2. Although the paper must be an Individual effort, you are allowed to work collectively as a group to search out the answers to all of the posed questions from the literature and share it with your other ‘participating’ group members. I recommend that the MANAGER or SCRIBE should divide up the questions and references found to support each answer.
A. Each Individual paper should be 4-5 pages and must include the following components:
CAPSTONE TOPIC APPROVAL COVER PAGE – After perusal of the literature for content related to your topic, (a) identify a TITLE and THESIS STATEMENT, (b) identify two natural (or health) science areas that relate to the problem, (c) cite 3 Primary References. (This section is NOT a part of the 4-5 pages and should contain GROUP NUMBER and the names and group roles of all participating members)
ABSTRACT – a brief summary of the paper that presents the thesis (i.e. statement of the problem) as well as the summary of the pertinent data, methods used, and final conclusion (i.e. summary of findings). This is positioned as a brief indented paragraph of about 3-4 lines or about 200 words that is indicated before the body of the paper
INTRODUCTION or BACKGROUND – a general presentation of the research problem, which includes the thesis statement (or hypothesis), outline of the process that you will used to address the major questions, and stating your own position.
METHODOLOGY – a summary of the methods, experiments used to collect and verify the data/information collected.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION – a statement and summary of your findings and their relevance to the thesis
CONCLUSION – a summary or restatement of the results of the study, its implications, strengths and weaknesses, application to society, ways to improve the results or the relevance of the results to other problems or questions.
REFERENCES – citing of sources. (Your paper should have 3-5 references formatted using APA or ACS citation styles. This section is also NOT a part of the 4-5 pages.
B. Use original sources such as centers for disease control (CDC), FDA, USDA, EPA, NIH and other government sites. DO NOT use simple references such as Wikipedia and other encyclopedia sources. Points will be taken off if less than 3 references or if one of the references is Wikipedia. Also, consider going to the library to use various sources that may not be on-line. Use journals such as JAMA, Nature, Science, etc. You may also use Scientific American. Try and find some opinions written by experts in the topic of your choice. Reference magazines, newspapers, journals etc.
C. Each of you should upload your ‘unique mini paper containing the 7 components above into your ‘Individual’ ASSIGNMENT 4 window. D. Each member of the group should also upload a copy of their CAPSTONE APPROVAL FORMS (CAF) into the Group Space as ‘Collaborative’ documents that will allow group members to critique each other’s form. Therefore, the CAPSTONE approval forms should be found in TWO locations: (1) your GROUP SPACE in CANVAS for critique by at least two group members and (2) as a component attached to each student’s ‘mini’ paper application submitted in the ASSIGNMENT 4 window. Each student should also upload two critiques of their CAP along with their ‘Individual’ mini paper into their ASSIGNMENT 4 portal.
