Topic:
Sport Policy
Description
An academic paper written in APA 7th edition format, of an analysis of a policy within a Canadian Olympic winter or summer sport organization (your choice). You are to choose a policy from that Canadian sport and write a paper about it from three perspectives: (1) the origin of the policy (who wrote it, why was it written, when was it written, what was the intent of it), etc.; (2) evaluate the effectiveness of the policy following its implementation (what behaviour modification do you think/know resulted from the implementation of this policy, supported by statistics, facts), etc.; (3) you are a policy writer and you have been contacted to improve the policy, so outline what changes you would make to the existing policy if you were in charge of this area, and explain why you would make such changes, etc.
The paper is to be a minimum of 10 pages of TEXT (it can be more) and note that the cover page and reference page(s) are not included in the page count. You may include relevant photos, but they too do not count in the page count, but they may add to the creative presentation of the paper.
The Rubric used to evaluate this paper will consist of four evaluative components: (a) APA 7th edition formatting; (b) overall creativity of the paper; (c) the critical thinking that went into the paper, making it an evidence-based argument; (d) the logic and understanding of the viability of your recommendation(s) for improvement of the policy selected.
