Papers: There are two papers for this course: an Abstract Paper, and a Research Paper that builds 

on the Abstract Paper. Papers are worth 100 points each and are to be submitted to the appropriate 

folder in the Dropbox area of the course on or before the due date. Papers are to be in either MS 

Word or Rich Text Format (RTF), follow current APA style guidelines, and have appropriate spelling 

and grammar. Papers are to have a minimum of three scholarly journal article references obtained 

from the library database, which excludes textbooks and websites. Paper format is graded according 

to the sample APA style paper available in the Content area of the course. 

This course will use Turnitin® to verify authenticity of your work and to assist you with handling 

quotes. Following submission of your paper to the Dropbox, both you and I will be able to view a 

report on the paper’s authenticity. I look at the individual items highlighted within the paper and 

those items with an individual percentage greater than 25% will be scrutinized. If you choose to 

modify the paper submitted to the Dropbox, you may do so by resubmitting your work to the 

Dropbox. The original due dates will remain in effect and I will evaluate the last paper submitted to 

your Dropbox. Papers submitted to previous courses will not be accepted. Previous papers cannot be 

submitted as original coursework. All work must be original. Plagiarized work will result in a zero 

score for the paper. Please check the course FAQ tab for APA website support. In addition, utilizing 

an online search engine you can search APA format with some excellent results. The papers are to be 

written using current APA formatting style. 

Abstract Paper (Week 4): The goal for this week’s paper is to introduce you to scientific 

writing using the APA style, the utilization of science/medical terminology in writing a 

paper, and conducting scientific research using the library databases rather than a website. 

In addition to submitting your abstract to the course Dropbox, you will post your paper to 

the appropriate Discussion for peer review by your classmates. The topic you use for this
