As we outlined in Module 7 all of your previous work serves as the scaffold on which this final research paper is constructed. The sequence of activities for creating your final paper that we recommended you complete last week is repeated here. Be prepared to edit rearrange and rewrite your paper multiple times.

This will enable your instructor to prepare your final paper for use in both final course grading and competency scoring within the window provided by the College.
Instructions: Begin by organizing your work in the order of the scaffolded assignments: Research Proposal Literature Review Diversity Perspectives and Ethical Perspectives. Add to those your notes used in your oral presentation as well as the feedback and suggestions provided by faculty and classmates. Make sure you have APA citation information for all the additional scholarly sources youve gathered since your initial Literature Review.
Create a new document to use as the draft for your final paper. You cannot use the work you submitted earlier for review nor can you simply insert minor changes to the original papers. Each section must be thoroughly revised and rewritten to incorporate the feedback provided as well as additional scholarly sources necessary to fully support your thesis.
