It is a creative experimental research just imagine that you are doing a research about does origami help to decrease stress? It is not a real research . it just for section 1+2+4
I got some feedback and I need to fix it . Here is the feedback:
i was looking at sample APA papers and i believe the Method should be bolded and centered than the Participants should be bolded to the left and then you begin to talk about the participants only. like how many males/females, their age, mental status, maybe SES status (because that can definitely effect our results) how we found them, ethnicity etc. you included the results and everything which i think go in a different section..

For the intro: Make sure Nova Southeastern University is capitalized. The significance of the problem in the counseling field is missing. For example- how can origami help individuals who are getting counseling or help the counseling career grow?

The purpose of the research was to measure the effectiveness of Origami as find out whether it is a viable stress reliever.” – change AS to AND

or the lit review: “The more precise definition as however, given by Soong (2001)…” – take AS out

also, you need to state how all this literature review helped make it possible for the group research to be conducted. for example: Error in certain research helped the group research be more aware to avoid same error/ ____ and ____ conducted research using people from a certain age and therefore this research was conducted with a different age/ only women were used in one study and now this research is using both sexes. Something along those lines

for program description: “The experimental research conducted was survey based whereby the population comprised of a population of Nova Southeastern University (NSU) students in all programs.”- in all GRADUATE programs

# of male to female is missing. Also, nationality/ maybe how many in each program/ race…

the program evaluation for section 4 is only to describe the sampling aspect of the research methodology. Whats the purpose of our sampling method. for example- Sometimes a study involves the entire population of interest, but more often it involves only a small portion of the students, employees, families, schools, communities, or other “units of analysis.” Why did we chose this pop

last thing- how does the researchers know they have an adequate sample size? What were the guidelines for this?

I have to write an argumentative proposal paper(template) about obesity.
I am gonna attach an example that i have to go by. It has to be at least one page. ( use this attachment as a guide) He is an example:

Research Proposal Example

Title of Proposal: Using Indoor Cycling for Fitness and Wellness
Statement of Purpose: The purpose of my proposal is to show how the sport of indoor cycling is a very good way to stay fit, active, and in great health. Staying healthy is an essential part of living a longer life.
Introduction and Background: The sport of indoor cycling or spinning, as some call it, is a great way for anyone to stay fit and healthy. Cycling, also known as spinning, is done inside on a stationary bicycle, usually in a group or class setting. An instructor or spin instructor, who rides his/her stationary bike at the front of the class, leads the group or class. The Spin instructor gives commands for the group members to increase speed, tension, do jumps, execute exercise moves, etc. to music and beats. Indoor Cycling is a variation of outdoor cycling in which the rider actually has to increase speed, tension, do hills, and jumps. The indoor class tries to mimic these moves and actions inside. The significance of this topic is that 76% of all Americans are either overweight or obese according to the American Medical Association’s statistics of where weight levels should be based on age and height (AMA 2009). With these startling stats, it is very important for everyone to eat healthy but most importantly add some type of physical activity to their daily routines to stay fit and healthy. Research shows that indoor cycling has become a sport that many people like because it does not cause stress on the bones or joints, it is done indoors, and others participate with you. In a poll done at a NYC YMCA, participants were asked what they liked best about indoor cycling, and the most common answer was the group participation. Indoor cycling can burn up to 1000 calories in one session which may last 45 minutes to an hour (Cycling Secrets, 23). Therefore, cycling three times a week and eating a low calorie diet can allow a person to lose 1-2 pounds a week. This is one of the healthiest ways to lose weight (Cycling Secrets. 26).
Significance of Topic: Cycling is becoming a popular activity at gyms and fitness spas. I began indoor cycling in 2002 after I had to stop running because an ankle injury. I could not run due to the pressure it would put on the pins, screws, and plate in my ankle, so indoor cycling became my sport of choice because it doesn’t put direct pressure on my ankle. It is fun, energizing, and an excellent way to stay in shape.

Approach to research/Descriptions Methods of Research: For my research, I have chosen to use an article on cycling, a book on indoor cycling, and an interview of an indoor cycling instructor. I plan to ask her questions concerning how she began instructing cycling and some of the other benefits of cycling.

Problems concerning research of topic: I do not anticipate any problems with my research because my topic is one that I enjoy. There is lots of information out there with this topic at libraries, fitness centers, and YMCA’s.

There is much speculation on the greatness of Andrew Jackson’s Presidency (Especially with the Native Americans) and the role his actions played in the coming American Civil War. Please look into his relationship with Martin VanBuren, John C. Calhoun, his role with South Carolina, and the National Bank crisis. You will need to compare your view to another view on the subject, so you will need to start to gather data and understand the topic well enough to understand the position in the light of other view points. I will post names of famous American Revolutionary authors and you will need to use the internet, library, inter-library loan, and the accounts that are free from our library to get full text online primary sources to support your contention. You will post your entry as a copy and paste, NOT ATTACHMENTS, to the journal link to the left. You have to have the following in your paper:

1. A solid thesis at the end of your first paragraph
2. Minimum of two body paragraphs
3. You must also have 5-7 viable sentences per paragraph
4. You must have a solid viable topic sentence for each body paragraph.
5. A viable conclusion.
6. Parenthetical References
7. Bibliography
8. 3 sources: 2 primary sources and 1 secondary source (Sources CANNOT include Wikipedia,Wiki anything, encyclopedia entries, dictionaries or what your family or friends told you)
Sources should be textbooks, history books, documents that are from the time period,etc.

Note: When you quote something from source material, you should introduce the evidence, then afterward you should have a sentence explaining how that source relates to your thesis.
Use note cards to organize your thoughts and structure. I have also included compare and contrast “how to” documents for your reference. Use them, they will help you organize your arguments.
List of Historians and sources (You do not need to hold to these sources, but the authors are considered the best in the field, so stick to these authors for secondary sources. Primary Source sites are available online and several are below for your use)

Make sure not to use Wikipedia as a source. It is not a reliable source as anyone can post anything to it. Also, avoid general websites such as ask.com, answer.com, about.com, or ehow.com etc…. Use authoritative sources on the topic of your paper, mainly sources from Coastline library, from government websites, from colleges, or from specialized websites.

Do not worry about the percentage of plagiarism in the proposal. The proposal is exempt from the plagiarism percentage.
But pay attention to the percentage in the research paper.

Although the proposal is tentative and you may make changes to the sources and outline later, it has to show a clear vision of a complete paper. It will be graded on the sources that contain information on the ideas shown in the outline. It will also be graded on the evaluation of the sources.

The thesis statement will be graded on clarity, emphasis, form, and grammar. It has to express a clear idea of what the paper is going to discuss. It has to show the emphasis of the paper as a whole. It has to be a complete sentence, not a title. Also, pay attention to that the thesis statement is not a definition of the topic. It just tells the reader what is going to be discussed in the paper.

The outline has to list clear ideas that the paper will discuss. Only the main ideas are requested. You may use bullets, numbers, Roman letters, or just a list of the main ideas in any order. This is not a formal outline. It is a very informal list of the main ideas that the paper intends to discuss (later you may discuss all of the ideas, some of the ideas, or additional ideas in the paper, as you deem best when you actually write the paper).
EXAMPLE:

Tentative Outline

Thesis Statement: Chemical Engineering

 

A. Introduction: A brief overview on the history of Genetic Engineering in Food

B. States that use Genetic Engineering and how they are dissimilar.

C. Whether or not Genetic Engineering is unconstitutional.

D. Whether or not Genetic Engineering affects human development.

E. Conclusion: Highlight the main ideas and bring them all together.

Tentative Sources: CITE 3 (example)
This source is reliable because the website is copyrighted, has contact

information available, and is updated.

The source provides specific

information on actual Genetic Engineering cases as well as provides

information on consumers rights.

Thesis statement: 15%
Outline: 35%
Sources+evaluation: 40%
Format 10%

Nigerian writer Uwem Akpan brings to the world in Say you are one of them five (5) fascinating and revealing stories about the lives of urban children in Africa and the incredible humanity that characterizes their profiles. As the recipient of many international literary awards including Oprah?s Book Club, Uwem captures what we would rather not want but need to know about children caught up in a frightening and politically intriguing world and how their lives unfold in this terrifying landscape. His Nigerian bishop in the Afterword on p. 358 summarizes it all – Akpan?s novel is ?a bold attempt to enlighten readers about children in Africa, fueled by a passionate desire to create a safer place for children all over the world?.

Using the Bishop?s statement as a backdrop and ?Luxurious Hearses? (chapter 3) as one of three stories (choose two others) you will use in your essay, show how Akpan portrays socio-economic, religious and ethnic conflicts through the voice of children in post colonial Africa. Discuss the commonalities you find in the stories drawing on past discussions and readings on colonization and decolonization in Africa and the resultant crises that we now witness. In your discussion, you may want to show how among other things, he a) increases awareness of the ramifications of child abuse, neglect, pain and suffering; b) skillfully agitates for child protection advocacy; c) builds a platform of knowledge at the humanitarian and international levels and d) portrays the universality of the characters? lives as part of the human condition. Also note and reference the relevance of the title ?Say you are one of them? (p.127, p.183) in the stories in your essay.
I encourage you to substantiate your arguments with quotes from the chapters noting page numbers. There is no need for external sources to inform your writing except for further support.
—-Your paper should include a clear introduction with a statement of intent, a well-organized body and a clear conclusion.
—-Your essay must be double-spaced and typed in a standard 12 font script.
—-Your essay must be at least 5 (five) pages in length excluding the cover page.
—-Each essay must also include a standard title page, page numbers and one-inch margins (this page is not included in the count of (5) five pages).
