Students will produce 4 papers and a final critical analysis paper all related to their area of concentration. Your papers must reflect the master’s level writing. Cognitive tasks must be specifically designed to relate directly to the student’s professional work assignments, or the approval of the instructor. The papers should be of sufficient depth to deal entirely with the issue.

Minimum length is 8 pages for each of the 4 papers, and 7 to 8 written pages for the final critical analysis, excluding tables, graphs, and appendixes. Note: Please make sure that you write succinctly and stick to the paper length. The above does not include the title, abstract, and reference pages. The first four papers must address the same main problem question, and each paper has a unique sub-question.

Each of the 5 papers must include the following:

• Title Page (should be descriptive and suggest the paper’s purpose).
• Table of Contents contains an introduction, body of the paper, and conclusion.
• Appendices (if applicable)
• Reference List (every citation, in the Text, must be correctly listed in the Reference List) 
The References in the back of this Syllabus are in correct APA format. There must be 6 
to 10 scholarly references per paper.
• If you have more than one Table, a List of Tables Page follows the Table of Contents
