Need to write a research paper
about covid-19
There are three things
1.Proposed research topic/rough outline, then help reply to at least five of the postings of your groupmates.
2.Draft of Research Paper, then help reply to at least five of the postings of your groupmates.
The name of your file should also contain your name to prevent a groupmate from accidentally submitting your paper for the similarity check (Turnitin).
Our schedule calls for feedback on draft research papers to be submitted by the end of the 6th week of our class. The schedule pushes you a bit and you will need time to read the drafts and give meaningful feedback. Your peer review feedback is due Sunday evening as normal; however, you will be able to access this DT through the next week. You will need this additional time to consider the feedback as received so as to polish your final paper for submission prior to the end of the 8th week (via the research paper Dropbox).
3.make research paper
Use this Dropbox to submit the final version of your research paper for grading. Take time to proofread closely your work. This assignment has a significant point value and is graded using several factors (content and format; Master’s level graduate quality; spelling, grammar, punctuation; originality of topic and content; and readability and organization) see attachments. Before submitting your work for grading, take another look at the Syllabus to ensure that “all boxes are checked” (coverpage, honor code, etc.)
Research Paper
Criteria
Cover page w/honor code
The cover page is to include:
1. your name,
2. topic title
3. course designation,
4. date, and
5. class honor code, and
6. an abstract of your paper.
Note: the abstract on the cover page is simply a space saver
Content and format (per Syllabus)
You may use the APA style to organize your submission, but other formats are acceptable. Consistency is key. Beyond the cover page, be sure:
1. Your paper is no more than five pages of content, not including the cover or reference page(s)
2. Your paper is double spaced,
3. Your paper has a reference or bibliography page, and sources are formatted correctly: titles, subtitles, etc.,
4. Each reference is correctly noted within the paper and vice-versa,
5. There is a running title on each page and include page numbers.
The Graduate Level Writing, page 2, provided in the module Getting Started covers style and style guides.

Readability and organization
Your submission should be thoughtfully communicated and written. It should read smoothly without having to re-read a sentence or paragraph to understand the information provided.

Master’s level work
Be sure and re-read the three-page, Graduate-Level Writing Guide from the University of Maryland, provided in the module Getting Started. It includes information on the following:
– comparison of undergraduate vs graduate-level writing
– contribution to the conversation
– a well-supported argument
evaluating and synthesizing sources
an appropriate level of diction
point of view (strongly suggest the third person; however, do not write in the first person)
– figures of speech
