The final project will include a minimum of 15-17 pages of content excluding the cover page, abstract, table of contents, any and all quotes, images, charts, pictures, and reference section. Again, pls know that any and all quotes do not count toward the minimum # of pages
the “most recent edition of the APA manual” must be followed with the formulation of the paper. Double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pitch, with 1″ margins all around. The use of larger fonts, more than just double spacing, or larger than 1″ margins will result in significant penalties
The final project is to be written in an academic tone. You are not to write in the first person. Instead, you need to use the third person. Remember, an academic paper is not to be written like you are having a casual conversation with your friends. Do not include slang or foul language unless you are quoting someone.
Large word-for-word quotes are not permitted for the final project. Try to limit direct quotes and paraphrase instead. The final paper needs to include an examination of current research on the particular problem you choose to examine, and it needs to include the student’s careful and informed analysis of the issue.
