Social work research paper

This assignment requires the student to demonstrate mastery of the scholarly literature related to an issue of human development. Each student will select a human developmental issue and one or more of the developmental theories presented in this course. The term paper assignment requires the student to demonstrate the ability to critically analyze the utility of selected theoretical concepts, including traditional and culturally centered theoretical frameworks, to a common problem or protective factor during a specific developmental period for a specific population/sub-group. Students are required to examine critically current and provocative literature in ways that reflect multiple and perhaps conflicting perspectives. The paper should be 10-12 pages in length (Times New Roman, 12 font). Please use a minimum of eighteen (18) references beyond the class textbook; seventy-five percent (75%) of the references must be within the last 10 years. The term paper grade will reflect: (1) how well the student demonstrated an understanding of and ability to comprehensively integrate course content, (2) the quality of critical analysis, (3) whether or not all specified requirements were met, and graduate-level writing quality. Final papers must be proofread and processed through Grammarly-Premium, and a printout of the Grammarly-Premium score must be included on the bottom of the cover page.
