Your Final Paper Part 2 should be 4-6 pages long (excluding title page, abstract, attachments, etc.), double-spaced, using 12-point font and 1-inch margins.
If your paper integrates information from published sources and/or you build on the work of others, you must be careful not to plagiarize. Please also see the rubric posted under the “Resources” tab in the main menu of the course for additional guidelines on grading.
Include the following:
Cover Page This should include your name, the course name and number, and the date
Abstract- There must be an identified one paragraph abstract which summarizes your paper. This should be located after the cover page and on its own page. The abstract should not be written until the final paper is completed.
Body of your paper – The content of your paper should be at least 4 6 pages not including a cover page, an abstract, and a reference page. Include terminology from the text to demonstrate an understanding of the concepts you have learned in the course. As in all college writing, grammar, spelling, and punctuation count.
References You must have at least three (3) properly cited references. References to web or book information in the paper must be according to the APA format. A url (a link to a website) is not a proper citation. Click here to see HOW TO LET WORD DO YOUR REFERENCES AND CITATIONS
