Summary and Conclusions
Here are the key things to keep in mind regarding your POLICY ANALYSIS/PROPOSAL Assignment:
You must incorporate the findings from at least three (3) outside sources of original academic research in this essay. Wikipedia is not an academic source. If you have questions, please ask me.
You should also consider incorporating relevant and reputable statistical and other social scientific data collected by researchers, governments, and other agencies and organizations. A wealth of such archived data is publicly accessible through the Internet, and their use can help you better understand your issue and develop a stronger analysis and critique. Again, if in doubt, ask your instructor for approval of your data source.
If you do not properly cite those external sources that contributed to your work, then you are guilty of plagiarism. This will not be tolerated and may result in immediate and serious academic penalties. You are required to use the APA (American Psychological Association) guidelines for ALL formatting, citations, and references.

The main text of your essay (the body) will be no shorter than 10 pages but no longer than 15. Begin work on your essay early and leave plenty of time for revision to assure the best possible grade. Also, your paper MUST BE DOUBLE-SPACED!
Include thoughtful, meaningful examples to support your work and demonstrate your understanding. This also shows me that you can apply the concept you are learning.
