Title Justification 1
This week you will choose a title that determines your research topic for this course. Your research topic should have the following characteristics:
First, clearly determine the content of the research paper.
Second, a good title should be interesting to the reader.
Third, it should be something that matters to you in real life! Such as your career, job, future or dissertation. For example, if you know you want to focus on US health system for the elderly practices in your dissertation, you could pick a topic in that line.
Fourthly, it should contain important keywords that will make it relevant to your interests and to this course.
Final Paper Proposal (2): Justification
The justification should be a persuasive narrative (30-70 words) that contains the following:
1. State Your Claim: Start with a brief statement of your paper title, which will focus on your research paper. It should not contain the specifics of your research.
2. Establish Reasons: Based on the chosen title, begin providing the reasoning. It is essential to frame your reasoning for why such a title is chosen with your objectives.
3. Provide Support: It is best to provide a one-sentence descriptive bibliography (in-text citation) with few references indicating that your title is in line with the recent research. Do not spend more than 20 words on providing a research background (in-text citation word count not counted). The more recent and up to date your support references you provide, the stronger your title justification is.
