Writing Homework Help

Synthesis is the act of creating something new from multiple existing entities. Synthesis of research, then, is creating a new idea from existing ideas. Synthesis of research is not a single innate skill. Rather, it is a process learned through time and practice. At the doctoral level, writing is a continual process of revision as learners improve skills and build subject matter expertise.

In Topic 5, you submitted a Synthesis Paper and received both feedback from your instructor and a grade for your work. In this assignment, you will expand upon your original paper with additional research from additional sources, incorporate feedback from your instructor, and provide a reflection section addressing your revision process.

General Requirements:

Use the following to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• Locate the Synthesis Paper you completed in Topic 5 and the feedback provided by your instructor.
• Locate and download the Revised Synthesis Paper Supplemental Articles List
• This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
• Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for specific guidelines related to doctoral-level writing. The manual contains essential information on manuscript structure and content, clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage.
• You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

Directions:

Locate the Synthesis Paper you completed in Topic 5. Using the feedback provided by your instructor and information from the two additional articles you selected, write an Enhanced Synthesis Paper with Reflection (1,250-1,800 words). Include the following in your paper:

1. A Reflection (250-300 words) in which you discuss your revision process and how you incorporated your instructor’s feedback into the revised version. Like the format of an abstract, this section will receive its own page following the title page and preceding the Introduction.
2. An introduction that provides context for the topic. This includes presenting a clear thesis statement.
3. Support for your identified themes with evidence from each original article. You must also incorporate additional support from sources included on the supplemental articles list. Synthesize your discussion of the topic to support your thesis.
4. A conclusion that demonstrates support of your thesis statement, brief summary of the main points from your two themes, and recommendations for future research on the topic.

PLEASE follow the instructor’s comments to correctly complete this assignment. Also use the rubric as a guide. I would recommend you using the two highlighted articles from the Revised Synthesis Paper Supplemental Articles List as an addition to completing this work. It is up to you. I want your best work. You are supposed to be writing as a professional. DO NOT say “these articles,” or “the authors,” or “according to…” The way I wrote professionally in my writing is how you are supposed to write. In addition to the word count in my essay, I want you to add another 800+ words of excellent work. I will not accept the paper if it does not meet the guidelines of the rubric. This is a PhD paper. Write it as such. Look over the attached documents first before completing the work.
