Resilience and Spirituality research paper

Resilience and Spirituality

Paper details

RESEARCH PAPER INSTRUCTIONS

Utilizing information presented in the required texts, as well as theoretical and practical elements from academic and Christian sources, compile an original paper of 8–10 pages of “Body” (text excluding the Title Page, Abstract, and References pages), in current APA style, which summarizes your understanding of 1 of the 2 topics:

(1) Resilience and Spirituality in general, or

(2) Resilience and Spirituality shown in relationship to 1 or more of the major phases of the Resilience Life Cycle™.

 

Dependent upon what topic is chosen, you should address factors relevant to success in the phase(s) under consideration, and spiritual and professional approaches to resilience. You may use other issues such as PTSD or TBI to help exemplify and explain “Resilience” and “Spirituality” (topic #1) or an aspect or two of Dees’ “Cycle” and “Spirituality” (topic #2), but do not submit a report to focuses on PTSD or TBI that merely mentions “Resilience” and “Spirituality.” The is goal is for you—regardless of what topic is chosen—to walk away from this project from this project with a very thorough understanding of “Resilience” and “Spirituality.”

A minimum of 5 current (published within the last 8 years), scholarly resources (books and journal articles) are required in addition to your textbooks (if utilized) and the Bible. You may use your texts, the Bible, and other relevant, older resources; they simply do not count towards your 5 current, “outside” resources. Keep in mind, 5 resources is not many for a paper comprising of 8–10 pages of “Body.” Typically you want to see at least 3 citations per page. Also, you may be tempted to simply use texts from other courses to help you obtain your content. That is fine, but my hope is that you will challenge yourself and spend time researching in current articles available through our library. There you will find the most current, academic thought on any subject.

Grades will be assigned based on quality of content, how well current APA guidelines are adhered to, the richness of citations utilized, quality of expression, and biblical integration presented. Please see the grading rubric for additional information.

• Length of paper: 8–10 pages of “Body”—significant points off if the paper is below 8 pages or exceeds 10 pages of “Body”.
• Include at least 5 current references (within the last 8 years)—points deducted for each missing or out-of-date reference.
• Follows current APA format. Review the Research Paper: Final Submission Grading Rubric for guidance regarding grading factors, and, for additional aid, research the Purdue Online Writing Lab at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/10/
• It would be expected that at least 2 levels of APA headings would be present in the final product.
• Paper will be graded on thoroughness, content, and use of theoretical material and integration of biblical perspective.
• Avoid Plagiarism—Using or passing off someone else’s work as your own is a serious academic offense. Papers are submitted through SafeAssign to check for the proper treatment of sources. You may submit a draft version to the “Research Paper: Final Submission [DRAFT]” SafeAssignment link to check your score, then edit and revise, and submit it to the “Research Paper: Final Submission” SafeAssignment link. Your “Draft” will not be reviewed by your instructor. Plagiarizing your paper will result minimally in failure of the assignment. Plagiarizing can also result in automatic failure of the course and academic discipline, including removal from the school. Please make sure that all work is your own or is cited appropriately.
