Discussion Post Assignments | Online Homework Help

Instructions

Based on your problem identified in Week 2 (I will send my problem/issue in a private message to the selected bid), find five scholarly articles that show evidence that the problem exists. Only use one singular problem—do not go off on tangents or discuss all possible problems for one issue.

First, review resources in the library that could be helpful to you in future courses or sign up for a live Library workshop, or view a recorded video.  To view these resources, go to the Course Resources module in the table of contents and click on Supplemental Resources.

Then, locate each article in the Library’s databases and describe your search strategies. Create an APA-formatted reference page for all resources used.

Length: 1 page, plus a reference page

References: Include the 5 scholarly resources to support your problem.

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Use the Template attached to complete the assignment.

Use the NCU Library Resources to Locate Articles

[Immediately under the title above, offer a brief one or two sentence introduction. Immediately following the introduction present a purpose statement for the assignment. For example, for this assignment, your purpose statement could read as follows. The purpose of this assignment is to use the NCU Library resources to locate articles relevant to the educational problem I am interested in examining.]

The Educational Problem I am Interested in Examining

[You only need one or two sentences in the section.  Clearly and obviously identify the problem that the sources you choose will help you examine.]

My Search Strategies

[Before completing this section, find five scholarly resources to support your problem and develop a properly formatted reference list below. Then return to this section and describe challenges, solutions, and effective techniques you discovered while locating these sources. All sources must come from the NCU Library. It would be best if they were published within the last five years so the information they contain is reasonably current.]

References

[Present a properly formatted reference for each of the five sources you selected. The definitive guide for constructing a reference list is the APA manual beginning on page 180 with journal article referencing discussed on page 186.

Below are some sample references so you can see what they look like. Many students find it helpful to save these examples and use them as a quick reference when developing their references for future assignments. Notice the following points which can serve as a checklist when you develop your own references in future assignments and courses.

1. References are presented using hanging indents. To create a hanging indent, use your mouse to highlight the reference and press Control + T.
2. The first and middle names of authors are represented by initials.
3. The titles of articles have only the first word capitalized and the first word of the secondary title following the colon (if there is one).
4. The names of the journals are presented in italics and are capitalized.
5. The names of the journals are followed by the issue number, volume number in parentheses, and page number. The issue number is italicized but the others are not.
6. The abbreviation for doi (digital object identifier) it is presented in all lowercase. If there is no doi provided for the source, it is not included.
7. If there is more than one author, they are separated with commas and the last one is preceded by &.
8. Examine the punctuation used in all references, notice where the periods and commas are placed.
9. References in a reference list are arranged alphabetically.
10. References are single spaced with one blank line between. (See examples below.)
