Please provide a well-crafted topic for your final paper. It should be a well-articulated phrase that is both meaningful and directional. The chosen topic has to be in line with your research interests and the class topic. You may write only write 20 – 30 words to clarify your chosen topic.
Justification
The justification should be a persuasive narrative (30-70 words) that contains the following:
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.
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.
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.
