If you have no research paper assignment due this term, you and the instructor of this class will develop a Human Services oriented topic so that you can practice the process of writing a research paper.
Instructions: Review the syllabus from one of your Human Services courses. First, identify a research paper that you will work on in this class. Then, create an outline of the key components of the research paper. Third, create at least two questions you can ask your professor about the research paper. Also, plan to ask your professor to confirm which components of your learning materials (textbook, journals, etc.) you will need in order to complete the assignment. Contact your professor via phone, email, or video conference to get answers to your questions and to further clarify their expectations for the assignment.
