Final Semester Paper Throughout the semester, you have been completing Activity Assignments involving articles youve found related to Education/Employment, IDDT (drug/alcohol abuse by people who also have a psychiatric diagnosis), and Wellness. These assignments were short-form in nature, as you gave a brief overview of how the news story related to the topics weve been discussing in class. The goal of this assignment is to write a 4-6 page (double-spaced) APA-style paper where you take one of the articles youve already looked at from a cursory level, and examine more deeply not only the story itself, but what lies underneath the story, as well as evidence of the related emerging trend/topic that weve discussed in class. The final paper is due 4/17/16. Papers can be uploaded to an assignment box in Moodle that will be available Week 13. Please remember that multiple sources of peer-reviewed material (minimum of 3 published 2010 or later from reputable sources) are required. Your paper should use the following sub headings.
