Dangers of Using Oral Birth Control Reflection Paper

 

 

Assignment 1 :

The purpose of this assignment is to help you plan out your final project. Specifically, you will be creating an outline of your final project throughout this assignment. Be sure to include the following information:

Rough Introduction: What is the general hypothesis? Why does this need to be explored? How has previous research addressed this (or failed to address this)? Define the scope of the problem/concern/issue, and make a strong case as to why your topic is necessary in the field of research. Be specific, be clear, and make it known exactly where you intend to go in the paper.

General outline for the body of the paper: Include information from your sources that “brings together” what we know so far about the topic. Be sure to speak about how these articles are helping you develop your own idea related to the topic. This section is nothing more than support for your ideas. It is recommended to have a cohesive list of ideas here, and which article(s) support that idea. Remember – DO NOT SUMMARIZE. DO NOT QUOTE. DO NOT ENDLESSLY REGURGITATE the articles. These are issues that will change the scope of the assignment into something completely different!

General conclusion: Wrap it up! Conclude your outline – this will help you plan a clear conclusion for your paper. Summarize key points, and state your hypothesis in a clear and direct fashion.

General things to remember: This is to help you create the final assignment. The final assignment is a portion of a research proposal. A research proposal is where you provide some background information and propose going forward to further test this area of research that is lacking. It cannot be written in first person, cannot include opinion/anecdotal information, and must include scientific research articles (journal articles). Other sources are not permitted.

Please write this up in DETAILED outline format. I do not want an essay in response – it must be a thoroughly detailed outline. Submitting four short sentences, for example, will result in a zero for this assignment. I expect meticulous detail.

Assignment 2:

Chapter 5, page 80, The Case of the Virtual Counselor	What are your thoughts about counseeling done via phone or Voom or computer? Because of Covid I understand; but, I’m very sceptical.
