Though your Problem-Solution Essay is not due until week 5, you will be completing the prewriting and planning portion this week. Review the Problem-Solution Essay Instructions . It’s valuable to see the “big picture” for a better understanding of what you are going to be creating throughout this process.
Prewriting and Planning Instructions
Prewriting and planning are essential to writing an effective essay, so for this week’s assignment, you will complete the prewriting and planning steps of the process for developing the Problem-Solution Essay. Additionally, you will also create and include a working references page, which includes a full APA Style reference for each source that you plan to use in the essay. To complete the prewriting assignment, you will submit one document (or perhaps multiple documents) that include ALL of the following:
A detailed outline of your essay that has been created using the outline template.
A working references page with a minimum of 4 sources.
IMPORTANT: Your submission should resemble the example outline.
If you have any doubt about how to research and write a paper in APA Style, use the resources available in the Hondros College of Nursing Library:

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
