Introduction Justification Assignment
To ensure that students are on track, submit a 1‐2 page double‐spaced justification for your topic. This justification should be written in formal academic language and be structured like the introduction to a research report. It must include the following components:
1. A clear thesis statement briefly describing the hypothesis and methods that will be used to test the hypothesis.
2. A statement or discussion about the theoretical importance* of the topic (e.g., how does research on the specific topic relate to theoretical or methodological questions).This should include an academic argument for the importance of your study via a short literature review that helps convince the reader that your hypothesis is reasonable and that your study will fill a gap. In other words, describe what psychologist will learn as a result of your research that they didn’t know before.
3. Include an outline of specific topics/claims/evidence to be used to introduce the constructs involved and justify your hypothesis. This outline should be put in an appendix following the reference page.
4. Please make this statement concise and brief. Do not turn in your entire introduction, but provide a short summary of the above.
*It is more important that you defend the theoretical importance of your topic than defend the practical importance of your topic in most cases. Exceptions include a literature review on an applied research topic. For example, if your topic is on an applied topic such as training commercial air pilots, then the practical importance should be fleshed out (e.g., training could decrease landing and take off errors by 15%). However, if your topic is based on basic research (e.g., the effects of perspective taking on greed) then do not discuss the practical importance too much since your paper will be about theory.
How to Provide Justification for Your Research Project: Advice for the Introduction Section
According the APA style manual a complete introduction addresses four issues: 1) describes why the topic or issue is important, 2) describes how the study relates to previous work in the area (e.g., literature review), 3) describes the hypothesis, and 4) describes how the study will answer the research question. A good introduction convinces the reader that one’s research study is worthwhile. Below are the specific steps to take in developing your introduction.

1. Find scholarly research articles on your topic. Evaluate each article your find in terms of its currency. Decide if the publication is outdated (is it an important “classic” study or is it just old?) and if the publication meets the need of your topic and paper. Is it relevant? Does the article provide new information about your topic?
a. Students should use articles published in the last 5 to 10 years. Older papers should be avoided unless they are “classic” or “important” papers on the topic.
2. Summarize and analyze each article. Take notes while reading. Paraphrase important content. Paraphrase the main claims and the main evidence used to support the claims.
3. Synthesize the content. Organize your knowledge by topic or subtopic. Draw connections between the various research studies. Examine points of contradiction and hypothesize the reasons for these discrepancies.
4. What are the unanswered questions or gaps in the literature?
a. If you already have a working hypothesis, then ensure that it hasn’t been investigated already. If it has been investigated previously decide if you can still add to the literature. Perhaps you can investigate the question in a different way than has been done in the past. Has the research been investigated with diverse samples and an array of different methods? Replication studies are okay as long as they add to the literature by providing unique operationalizations of the constructs.
5. Develop an argument to justify a hypothesis.
a. Usually justifications come in two forms. As you may have guessed, you will either justify your hypothesis by claiming that the work has not been previously, or you’ll justify the hypothesis by describing how your methods are better or different than the methods used to test the question previously.Although justification via discussion GAPS in literature is the most common, there are other ways to justify a research question.
b. Arguments can be quite simple (e.g., justifying why two things should be related) or very complex. Keep in mind that your “job” as a writer of a research proposal is to convince the reader that your research question or your research methods are unique and worthwhile. If you are having trouble, please see your instructor for help.

Making reasonable arguments in an introduction justification
A research paper is a form of reasoned argument. You, the researcher, are claiming that a particular hypothesis is sensible and that research needs to be conducted to examine whether the hypothesis may or may not be supported by empirical data. You are also making a second argument—that the methods you developed to test the hypothesis are good ones. Good arguments require three things: clear definitions of psychological constructs, inductive, and deductive reasoning.
Each argument you make should begin with a clear discussion of the main construct you are interested in. For example, if I was interested in empathy I would describe the general construct and distinguish it from other concepts. Further, I might describe it laymen’s terms and describe its theoretical links to other psychological constructs.
Deductive reasoning is a process by which we move from a general theory or idea to the application of this theory to a particular case. For example, according to the general theory that perspective taking should increase helping behavior, you may argue that people will increase their willingness to be organ donors following a movie about problems organ recipients face compared to a movie about farm animals.
Inductive reasoning is a process in which we proceed from a particular piece of evidence to a conclusion. This is often referred to as empirical reasoning. For example, imagine that there is evidence that people are more willing to help after they watch movies that give them opportunities to take the perspective of those different from themselves. I might use this evidence to make a general claim—that perspective taking is more effective when people are exposed to people’s stories via movies, than when they are simply asked to imagine another person’s life. Now this particular example is pretty risky—the hypothesis that I generated given the evidence is a stretch. Thus, if I were writing a paper, I would want to find more evidence to support my hypothetical claim.
While writing your research proposal, strive to create a good argument for your research hypotheses and methods using inductive and deductive reasoning, and by making clear the definitions for the constructs under investigation.

6. Write the introduction
i. Provide a context by defining general topics or issues
ii. Explain the organization of your paper
iii. Discuss previous literature as it relates to your hypothesis. Make claims that are supported by evidence (e.g., X and Y are related).
iv. Make clear the theoretical and/or methodological gaps that exist in the previous literature.
7. Include a short summary of the research discussed, and the main justification for your hypothesis.
8. Include a short overview of the methods that will be used to test the hypothesis.

Keep in mind. Your introduction should justify your research proposal by
• Placing your study in the context of other work that has already been done in the field
• Informing the reader about the theories upon which your study is based
• Establishes the need for the research by identifying how it fills a gap in knowledge
• Establishes the logic behind your specific research question or methods (e.g., explains the basis for your research strategy)
Do’s and don’ts for your paper
• Do
o Organize your paper before you begin writing
o Provide strong transitions between the discussion of one idea and another (e.g., transitional statements help the reader follow your line of thought and create “flow” throughout the paper [see Mitchell, Jolley, & O’Shea, 2013, pp. 18-19])
o Reference appropriately
o Write well and see someone in the success center or smart thinking if you need help
• Don’t
o Simply review and paraphrase previous research in the introduction
o Use more than one or two quotes
o Rely heavily on secondary sources (use primary articles published in peer reviewed scholarly journals)
o Include anecdotal information
o Discuss each article separately as if writing an abstract on each
Plagiarism
Students who choose to plagiarize will earn a zero on their paper and risk failure in the course. All instances of plagiarism will be recorded with the Dean of Students and placed on one’s permanent academic record. The turn-it-in software where students will upload their paper will alert the instructor of any sentences or phrases that closely match published work. Remember, to avoid plagiarism you should ensure that you have written your report in your own words. Each sentence that you create should bear little to no resemblance to the reports you read. To paraphrase effectively you must clearly understand the research you are discussing. This may require that you read scholarly work several times or may require that you find a tutor to help. If you must quote text do so sparingly and be sure to enclose quotes in quotation marks. It is expected that students in this class have mastered the ability to write about psychology. Thus, plagiarism in any form will not be tolerated.
Suggestions for success:
Write. Rest. Revise. Repeat. I recommend completing these assignments early and then letting them “rest” before you revise them. Two to three days after you complete a draft, read it, revise it and improve it. No one writes brilliantly on the first draft. Brilliant writing comes only after countless revisions.
Read the Mitchell, Jolley, and O’Shea text. This book is invaluable because it not only describes how to write research papers, it also describes how to build logical arguments. Critical thinking and reasoning are essential to write well in psychology.

Greatness of George Washington, “Is There a James Madison Problem?”

You will need the a copy of Revolutionary Characters by Gordon Wood and you will be doing two reviews 400-500 each
Greatness of George Washington Pg 31-63
James Madison pg 143-172
The book is really the only source you need the instructor asked to use as much example from the book as possible. Also you can exceed the

word count by 3-4 is the max
See the attachment below for more information

US History to 1877
Review of Gordon S. Wood, Revolutionary Characters

Secondary sources provide historical interpretation and analysis to the public and set the conversation for historical debate. Critical to

engaging in this debate is being able to understand and interpret the arguments put forth by modern historians in secondary works. Students

will write a review of two separate essays in Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different by Gordon S. Wood.

Each review will be between 400 and 500 words (about two full pages), giving you between 800 and 1,000 words in total. Each student will

review the first chapter, “The Greatness of George Washington,” and one additional chapter of your choice. To make sure there is a good

spread of chapters, there is a sign-up sheet available on D2L to make your selection.
If you have a chapter you definitely want to write about, make sure you put your name in a spot.

Successful reviews will identify and explain each chapter’s argument. Each chapter has a thesis, a main idea, that is the central argument

the author is trying to make. You can usually find it in the introduction, and reduce it to one to two (1-2) sentences. You should use that

main idea in your paper’s introduction to organize the rest of the review.

Use the bulk of your body paragraphs to provide details and smaller ideas from the book that support this big idea. There are a lot of

details in these chapters, so you will need to figure out which pieces are the most important to supporting the main idea.In your

conclusion, you should wrap up the argument and pass judgment on its effectiveness. Think about how well the author proved his thesis, and

do not be afraid to suggest there is missing information or areas for improvement. Reviews will be graded equally on both grammar and

content.

As part of the writing process, students will also engage in peer reviewing. Each student will share his or her paper with a classmate, and

this version of the paper must be typed and printed by the start of class on that day. In this version of the paper, make sure you have

highlighted your thesis in some way (Bold, Italics, Underline) so that both you and your reviewer can find it easily. Because your

classmates are relying on you to have materials ready, there will be no late assignments accepted.

The final paper is due by the start of class as typed and stapled hard copies or files uploaded to the appropriate folder on D2L. You do

not need to have your thesis highlighted in the final version.
If you choose to upload your file to D2L, name it: LastNameFirstInitial_AuthorReview.
If I were to turn in a paper this way, it would look like this: AltavillaK_WoodReview.

Unless I have granted written permission otherwise, these are the only ways to turn in the paper.

Each paper will account for 10% of the student’s final grade.

All late assignments will be penalized 10 points per day.

Paper Requirements
– Begin paper with your name and a Chicago-style citation of the book. Use the formatting for a Chicago citation here:

http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html. This link is also available on D2L.
– Each review should get a short title (the founders’ name should be enough) to help distinguish the two essays.
– Do not include additional information, including but not limited to items such as the due date, the class, my name, a cover page, or a

bibliography. That takes up space you could be using for the review.
– Use standard fonts (i.e. Times New Roman, Calibri, Cambria) in size 12, double-spaced.
– Use 1-inch margins on the page.
– For this kind of paper, do not use direct quotes. You do not need to provide quotes or citations, as you already have a citation at the

beginning. I want to hear your voice, not the author’s.

Avoiding Plagiarism
– Read the entire chapters. Not finishing themwill make it difficult to follow what is going on, and increases the chances that you will

try to make up for that by cheating.
– It is okay to work together outside of class. You need to make sure, though, that your paper is your own.
– It is okay to read other reviews that you might find online to help you highlight important parts of the book or main idea. It is not

okay to use those reviews in your paper. Make sure you always use your words when writing.
– Copying another review and using a thesaurus to change words is not “making it your own.” In most cases, this leads to you changing the

meaning of what was said in a way that makes your writing worse.

Other Writing Tips
– This book is a work of historic non-fiction, and therefore isnot “a novel.” Do not refer to it as such.
– A paragraph must have at least three (3) sentences.
– Do not use contractions (don’t, couldn’t, it’s).
– Book titles should always be underlined or in italics. Use one or the other, not both.
– On verb tenses: as a general rule, for historical actions use past tense (“Washington attacked…”), while for modern historians use

present tense (“Wood argues…”). Avoid mixing tenses in the same sentence.
– Limit the use of the passive voice. It is a correct verb tense, but regular use is not good writing. Keep sentences short and

declarative, and avoid “to be” verbs. “Lincoln gave a speech” is better than “The speech was given by Lincoln.”
– Limit the use of first person pronouns. The whole paper represents your thoughts, therefore it is not necessary to say, “I think…”
– Keep your sentences short and to the point. If your sentence is running on to a third line, it is too long, and can be broken up into

smaller sentences. This will keep your sentences focused, and help them to make sense.
– When introducing a person in the text, use their full name the first time (Thomas Jefferson), and their surname after that (Jefferson).

Do not use the person’s first name alone unless there is a specific reason for doing so. You do not know Jefferson personally, so there is

no reason to call him “Thomas” in your paper.
– To make a noun plural (more than one), add “s” to the end. Do not add an apostrophe (‘), as this makes the word possessive (Slaves is

more than one slave; Slave’s is something belonging to a slave)
– Do not ask questions in the paper. Reviews are for answering questions, so provide an answer. Let your reader assume the question being

asked.

 

Business Entities
Research federal and state court cases pertaining to the topic of business entities. Select one court case and write an analysis that addresses the

following:

Articulate the importance, context, purpose, and relevance of law in a business environment:
Identify the parties who are before the court.
Provide a brief background to problem. Summarize the facts in no more than 2–3 paragraphs.
Identify the specific disagreement between the parties.
Explain the ruling of the court in no more than 1–2 paragraphs.
Evaluate key judicial concepts that influence the decisions related to business:
Was there a dissenting opinion? If so, explain why some of the judges or justices disagreed with the majority in the decision.
Do you agree with the court’s decision? Why or why not?

 

When writing the paper, the following criteria should be answered/completed:
-Summarizes the importance, context, purpose, and relevance of law in a business environment, and presents the facts of the case to illustrate the

context, purpose, and relevance.
-Exhibits information literacy skills as applied to business law, and supports statements with legal research from credible legal research databases

and online resources.
-Evaluates the legal options for creating a business entity, provides examples, and cites dissenting rules and reasons for dissent.

adolescent males.

In your search, locate at least four empirical research journal articles related to your topic and questions. Try to identify empirical

research articles, based on different designs (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods design), though if that is not possible, just find

empirical articles. [See APA, p. 10 for brief definitions of empirical articles, also defined in Creswell (2009), p. 4, and Fink (2010)].

Include in your introductory paragraph your purpose for writing this paper; this can be a simple statement of your strategies for this database

search.

For example, a sample purpose statement for this assignment might look like this:

The purpose of this assignment is to describe the strategies used to navigate the databases, discuss the findings of the search process

concluding with an identification of four relevant sources related to the initial research question.

Include a mapping statement following the purpose statement that briefly lists the key points sequentially of how you intend to organize the

body of your paper. You can use the elements outlined in the assignment grading criteria as a guideline to create your mapping statement.
For example,
This paper will discuss the online library databases that were used and search strategies using Boolean connectors with the keywords that met

with the best results. Results of the Proquest Digital Dissertations and Thesis database search will also be discussed, concluding with the

identification of four scholarly articles that relate specifically to the previous questions.

Following the mapping statement, structure the remaining paper around the elements listed in the grading criteria below. It is important that

you address all elements of the grading criteria.

Using the grading criteria elements to organize the content will help in structuring the paper logically and ensure completeness of your

submissions.

1. Stated a minimum of one relational research question and used the key words from the variables in the research question.
2. Discussed additional key words obtained from the thesaurus related to your variables in your research questions.

5. Examined the Proquest Digital Dissertations and Thesesrelated to your research topic and question and clearly explained the results.
6. In the final paragraph, identified four journal empirical research articles related to your research topic and question. Introduced each

source in the author (date) format, and explained briefly (not more than 2-3 sentences/article) their relevance to the proposed research

questions. Included the type of article selected (quantitative, qualitative, mixed-method).
7. Created a Reference page and listed the four articles in accurate and complete APA format. (Include titles of articles only on the reference

page, not in the text) Displayed accurate grammar, spelling, punctuation, and APA Style.

Policy Analysis

*one source must come from Reference

Kraft, Michael and Scott Furlong. (2015) Public Policy: Politics, Analysis, and Alternatives. Sage Press.

Think tanks are in the business of analyzing policies, both proposed and implemented. They present us with data, but how do we know who to

trust? This week we will begin to explore policy issues through the lens of think tanks. We will look at FEMA and the agency’s current movement

toward efficiency, effectiveness and stability as the case study.

Here’s some background information on FEMA http://www.fema.gov/about-agency

Now take a look at two reports on FEMA. One is from the Cato Institute- http://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/federal-emergency-

management-agency-floods-failures-federalism (FEMA: Floods, Failures and Federalism) and the other is from the Government Accountability Office

(GAO) http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-15-178 (Status of FEMA’s Implement of the Biggert-Waters Act amendments – be sure to look at the full

report rather than the synopsis on the opening page). I want you to review each of these and then locate a report/post from a another think

tank/research group (preferably a liberal think tank for balance).

Here’s a list of the policy think tanks in the US.
http://www.state.gov/s/p/tt/

Now, critically analyze the information shared from the think tanks.
————————————————————————–
What specific roles do these think tanks have, which policy actors seem to be driving this specific tank, what were the differences and

similarities in the recommendations made for FEMA, could you distinguish any bias and what was it, and did you see any problems with the

rationale or reasoning utilized?

Be sure to provide the name of the think tank you reviewed and a link to their discussion on FEMA.
