I’m studying for my Health & Medical class and need an explanation.

Health 104 requires the student to write one research paper on a contemporary health topic. The topic that you choose should have personal significance to you, so that your research may benefit you. Your paper should include the following characteristics:

• Typed and Double Spaced
• Five to Seven pages in length.
• Bibliography that includes five sources of information / references.
• Done in an organized, neat, and scholarly fashion.

Your research paper will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• Meets the above Characteristics
• Is on a contemporary health related topic.
• A quality report, with all material factual and informative.
• Includes a bibliography.
• Reference materials are from publications since 2010.
• Personalized

***Your paper must be on a topic that relates to you personally. You must include your own personal views of the topic and explain how this information will effect you own lifestyle and why.***

2500 words, double space, about 12 pages, APA style

regarding 

• Cost Benefit Analysis 

the paper should focus mostly on Cost-Benefit Analysis

and also how it relate to lean and lean accounting 

use examples and case study

10 scholarly references must be peer-reviewed 

The thesis template we encourage students to use in this class is as follows:

Research suggests that __central claim__ because __main supporting point 1__, __main supporting point 2__, and __main supporting point 3__

So the thesis must be argument driven rather than just pass along information to the reader. It’s also a good idea to make sure, at this early stage, that there is ample research available to comfortably give you the ten credible sources you need for the paper.

TASK 1
Once you have gathered your ten sources, Task 1 asks that you write a short 150-200 word long paragraph about EACH source. All ten of these paragraphs will make take the same four ?steps? as they assess the sources you have chosen. Note that you will not go into much detail with any of these steps. The most you will write for each step will probably be no more than four or five sentences. Again, the total word count for all five steps will 150-200 words.

The first step is to offer a brief summary of the source (probably about four or five sentences). What are they key points of the source?

Then students will discuss the ?credibility? of the source (three or four sentences should do). Folks will most often discuss the author, but they might also talk about the organization that released the information or the publication that presented it. What makes this source reliable?

Finally, students must address the relevance of the source (about two sentences). How will the source be used in your essay? It is important to specifically mention your paper. Many students demonstrate relevance, for example, by discussing which section/main supporting point in the paper will be helped by the source.

TASK 2
Task 2 for Composition II is writing the paper itself. The paper is between 10 and 15 pages long, but that includes the title page and references pages. For many, then, this will mean that they must write 7 pages of essay in order to meet the 10 page requirement. As long as the 10 pages are reached, there should hopefully be enough detail in the paper.

Although the course does not require you to make an outline for the paper, I strongly encourage that you do. You can make the outline as detailed or brief as you like, but it should set out the organization of your paper clearly. The evaluators have a very precise structure in mind for your essay, and it goes back to the exact wording of your thesis statement:

Research suggests that __central claim__ because __main supporting point 1__, __main supporting point 2__, and __main supporting point 3__

The structure the evaluators are looking to see, then, is as follows:

Introduction ending in thesis

Section 1 based on Main Supporting Point 1 from the thesis

Section 2 based on Main Supporting Point 2 from the thesis

Section 3 based on Main Supporting Point 3 from the thesis

Conclusion restating thesis

It is very important to stick closely to this structure. I would also advise organizing your outline in enough detail that you break the three sections down into 3 or more sub-points for each section. This will help guide you effectively as you write, and will greatly reduce the risk of writer’s block. You may even want to make a note in the outline of where sources will be used in the paper. Use your outline then like a set of directions on a journey, closely following the path you have set from introduction to conclusion.

Remember the common conventions of academic writing, too, such as not using ?I, me, we, or you, etc? and keeping personal information and anecdotes to an absolute minimum.

This the topic of the reseach paper as follows:

1.      Financial management issues for facilities and events

This paper is an opportunity for you to demonstrate a thorough understanding of current issues and research, and to make practical applications of research to the sport facility and event settings.  This is a two-part assignment, with a 1–3-page APA formatted outline submitted in. 

1. Now that you have a topic selected, create an outline and include your key sources.  The outline must generally follow the format indicated below.  Each major section of the paper should be represented in the outline, including the title page, abstract, references, and appendices (if utilized).  The supporting ideas and subsections of your paper should be listed appropriately following the example below, though each paper will have unique elements.  Brief explanations (1–3 sentences) should be used to describe your supporting ideas in order to demonstrate how the parts of the paper fit together.  You also should indicate in the outline where your key sources will be utilized.  This is best done by citing the source in APA style for in-text citations (e.g., Fried, 2015).  The outline should be 1–3 pages.
