Human Services

The purpose of this assignment is to choose a topic that you will develop into your final 7-11 page Research Paper for this course. The topic you select must be germane to the field of human services or your major (i.e. Criminal Justice, etc. for non-human services majors). It must be an original topic; no previous papers or assignments may be used. Additionally, Research Papers may not be completed on Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous. You should not write about a subject in which you possess a bias, or a desire to prove a preconceived notion. It should be a topic to be examined objectively as it will be written in third person, and should not reference personal experience. You should perform preliminary research utilizing the Stafford Library’s databases to help identify a topic and ensure that sufficient research is available to support your paper.

The Research Paper Topic Submission should be comprised of 2-3 short paragraphs (first person) that includes your topic and explanation of why it was selected.
