Sex Trafficking

Your research paper should be related to gender related topics. The paper must be course relevant and written specifically for this course. Evaluation of the final paper is based on the focus on content, relevance to gender issues, critical analysis of the research, writing ability and APA style guidelines. Solid papers for this class have mainly ranged between 12 and 20 pages, covered the topic comprehensively, had excellent APA style (Abstract, Introduction, Content, Discussion and, APA Style References); were free of typographical, spelling and grammatical errors, and reflected the writer’s ability to critically analyze the research relevant to the topic on the psychology of gender.

Your final paper must show evidence of analysis, evaluation, interpretation and synthesis of the research topic. Your instructor pays close attention to your scholarly presentation. You must know how to use the APA style, and appropriately cite and reference all the sources used by the student.

All sources of information in your final research paper must be supported by a reference. Be cautious when stating your opinion, or using terms indicative of absolute facts, or values, as these must be supported by the original source(s). Peer-reviewed journal articles should make up the bulk of your references.

All written assignments must reflect quality of content, clarity, writing skills, and critical thinking skills commensurate with college level study. Grammatical and practical errors, including formatting, typically impact the overall quality of a paper or presentation and the final score. Students are encouraged to contact the Writing Center or meet with the instructor for assistance.
