27 Jun research paper

Guidelines
The following are some basic guidelines: choose A or B as a topic. The term paper requirements below are mandatory parts of the paper.

• Topic A
  Persuade a legislator to propose legislation to (a) create a new law; (b) modify an existing law; or (c) repeal a law.  If you choose this approach, the paper should be addressed to a legislator at any level (federal, state, or local). Assume your legislator will be able to act on your proposal. You may write a cover letter to the legislator, but the rest of your proposal should include all elements of a research paper as outlined in the rubric (see rubric). You may include the law as one of your resources, but you must also have at least two other outside resources to support your proposal. NOTE: Your instructor cannot act on your proposal, as this is an in-class assignment only.
• Topic B
  Propose a change in your companys policies and procedures. Be specific about which policy should be changed, how it should be changed, and how it can be implemented. You may include your companys policy manual as one of your resources, but you must also have at least two other outside resources to support your proposal.

Requirements

• Your position must be supported by research that is formally and properly documented in APA style
• You must include a reference page. See the rubric for additional formatting guidelines
• The paper must have a specific recommendation which includes: who (the receiver/legislator), is to do what (address issue/introduce legislation), and when (at the next meeting/legislative session). Write the paper as if you are going to present it in person
• The content of the assignment must be 4 to 6 pages, exclusive of a cover page, cover letter (if included), table of contents, executive summary or abstract, and references
