I'm writing my paper myself now. Is there something wrong with me? :) Here are the instructions and topic I received:
Topic: Educational Curriculum
Paper - General Research Instructions:
Theory to Practice PaperFor this research paper you will choose one of the curriculum traditions that we study in the course and do further reading in that area. In the paper you will delve deeply into how and why the curriculum tradition you have chosen (Radical Curriculum, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Paulo Freire) does or does not resonate with your own developing educational philosophy.
You will be expected to cite specifics from the books and articles that you draw from as well as look forward into possible implications for your own teaching and the learning of your future students.
Criteria for Theory to Practice PaperAll papers must be double-spaced and word-processed in 12 point Arial font. All papers will be evaluated for form, which includes; spelling, grammar, sentence structure, paragraph organization, syntax, cohesiveness, and organization. Language should be specific. Proper use of quotations and citing sources must be consistent throughout the paper. The Theory to Practice Paper ONLY must be written in APA style. Plagiarism is unacceptable.
Please read the university's policies on plagiarism. If you are uncertain about the standards for citing other people's work I urge you to ask for help before handing in any papers. You are expected to know the rules of citing other people's words and/or ideas.
