You already have your proposal completed from BAS 490

You already have your proposal completed from BAS 490. In order to transform your proposal into your final manuscript, you will need to rework the basic foundation of the paper by changing from future tense to past tense, rewording the methods section to match what you actually did for your project (versus what you are proposing to do), adding all missing sections (a traditional Academic paper will include an Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion; a Technical Paper which will include rationale, methodology, and implications). Please refer to your APA Manual to determine what should be included in each section (or you can reach out to me for assistance). You will complete your proposed research study from BAS 490 during this semester. This means that whatever study you proposed in BAS 490 and were approved to implement in BAS 491 must be carried out by you. That includes data collection, analysis of results, and reporting of findings in your final paper. *I strongly encourage you to start this process early in the semester so you have a complete first draft to submit to your peer review partner so they can provide you with the best feedback. Final Paper/Project: Your final paper is the culmination of your work in BAS 490. The body of your paper will include a literature review, in which you display your critical thinking skills to analyze research quality. You will share your own hypothesis and methods, again thinking critically about the strengths and weaknesses of your own research. You will share your results and interpret them for your reader. Think critically about your own work and explore any bias or shortcomings your research might have. You will demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of your research and explain how your research is relevant to your field and the broader intellectual community (i.e., why your research matters outside of this course). Your paper must be written professionally and demonstrate strong written communication skills (clear, concise, proper grammar and tone, etc.). You will likely include indices (charts, diagrams, etc.) plus cover page, abstract, and references. APA 7 format must be used for this submission. How long should your paper be? Long enough to effectively do all of the above. This truly varies from subject- tosubject and student-to-student, but you can generally expect the body of your final paper to be between 3000-5000 words (excluding the abstract, indices, references, etc.)
