Please do not include a table of contents and note that pictures, charts and graphs do not count as text. I require the use of the American Psychological Association (or APA) style, so please see the sample paper I have included for you in Instructor Insights. Keep in mind that the more primary sources you use in your research, the stronger your argument tends to be, but I still expect to see at least seven sources used, only four of which may be Internet. Other sources can be journals, magazine or newspaper articles See the list at the end of this syllabus for ideas but I will not accept internet sites as a source unless you indicate the specific article, book, etc. you used at the site in question. Simply listing a URL address is unacceptable.
Plagiarism will result in a grade of zero so review the University’s Rules of Student Conduct concerning this. A Turnitin.com score of 25% or more is a high risk of a grade of zero for sources not properly documented. For internet sources, please indicate the specific journal, article, or book and do not use Wikipedia. The majority of your paper must be written in your own words and not cut and pasted from the Internet.
