RESEARCH PAPER:
You will need to prepare a three to five-page paper (double-spaced, 12-point font, in WORD) using APA format (abstract, in-text citations AND a reference page), plus a cover page. The cover page, abstract and reference page are not to be regarded as part of the page requirement. (See the “APA Sample” under Course Resources.)
Use a minimum of FOUR (4) online library, internet or other reliable resources other than the job and resume websites (referenced in topics #2 and #3 (below)). Write in grammatically correct, clear sentences. You will have the opportunity to submit a draft of your paper for feedback.
Your paper should address the following topics:
Again, to prevent plagiarism, it will be necessary to cite your sources within the document (in-text) AND on a Reference Page at the end of your project. You have already completed an APA tutorial showing you how to do this, but if you have any questions, please ask. Also, remember to consult the “APA Style Guide: APA Formatting,” which you can access on the ECPI Virtual Library homepage.
* NOTE the following possible special deductions:
25-point deduction per page when page minimum is not met;
25-point deduction – If you do not cite your sources in-text (failure to do so is “plagiarism” and should result in a zero);
25-point deduction – If you do not cite your sources on a Reference Page (failure to do so is “plagiarism” and should result in a zero);
15-point deduction per minimum number of sources not used;
10-point deduction per calendar day – Paper posted late;
6-point deduction per question not addressed; and
5-point deduction for failure to include an abstract.
