Therefore, you must focus on the substance of your content and get to the point – – minus the fluff. The key to this assignment is the demonstration of your understanding of the problem set (the dependent variable) and the consistency of your causal factors (independent variables), and concomitant policy implications.
Topic: Spousal Abuse
1. Introduction (1.5 page/5 points) 2. Problem Statement (1 page/ 4 points) 3. Theoretical Framework (6 pages/ 11 points) 4. Policy implications (1 page/ 3 points) 5.
