Paper instructions:
Write a 3-4 page paper exploring a “hot button issue,” using at least three articles that express another point of view from yours. (The cover page and reference page don’t count in the 3-4- pages of text). This essay must use proper APA format. In your paper, you must: indicate why the issue is so controversial, your point of view before you researched, and how and why your point of view changed, or did NOT change, as a result of your exploration. For a handy review of the mistakes students usually make on this assignment, see Doc Sharing. The 3-4 pages does not include the cover page and reference page. Make sure you cite references in-text and include a reference page at the end. Use the Hot Button Paper checklist at the left before you submit this paper.
REMEMBER: Direct quotes cited in-text need a paragraph or page number (Albom, 2007, p.19) for example. This is the most common mistake students make on this paper; leaving out the paragraph or page number when directly quoting a source in the paper.
