The Research Requirements 1 The Research Requirements 1. Two Research Papers (500 words for each essay paper) to explain the two violations. Each problem should be examined and the solution(s) to the problem. Look at the essay format from the instructor's website for an example. 2. Two “Select the Article” forms – fill out the necessary information on the form. 3. Two Power Point (6 -8 slides with visuals to enhance the presentation) for each problem. It should clearly highlight the problems and proposed solutions to the problems. Each group will present both power points for both problems. 4.
