For this assignment, you will write a 1,200-word (not including citations) research paper on a scholarly topic of your choosing. You are required to include in-text citations and a reference page with full citations for all of the sources that you include in the paper.
Guidelines for the final paper:
The paper should be 1200 words in length (about 4 pages… not including the reference page). The paper should be no longer that 1400 words.
Double spaced, 12pt font
Contain at least 4 scholarly sources
Do not use Wikipedia! If you use Wikipedia as a source, you will lose points on the paper.
Use APA style for the in-text citations and the reference page. You do not need to include an abstract.
If you use someone else’s words, ideas, etc…you must either put quotes around them or paraphrase (writing what someone else said in your own words) and then give an in-text citation and a full citation in the bibliography (works cited page). Plagiarism will result in a zero for the assignment.
Common knowledge does not need to be cited (i.e. the earth is 93 million miles from the sun…Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776).
If you include a source on your reference page, it should be used in the paper. Do not include any sources on the reference page that are not used in the paper.
The paper should be organized logically…Intro, body, conclusion.
Use Standard English and grammar…no omg, ikr, lol, slang, etc.
Avoid using contractions (can’t, won’t, he’d)
