Best Practices
The following are the best practices in preparing this paper.
•Cover page—Include who you prepared the paper for, who prepared it, and the date.
•Abstract—Summarize the main ideas of your paper in 150-250 words.
•Introduction—The purpose of an introduction or opening is to introduce the subject, indicate why the subject is important, preview the main ideas, and establish a tone for the document. Include in the introduction a reason for the audience to read the paper. Also, include an overview of what you are going to cover in your paper and the importance of the material. (This should include or introduce the questions you are asked to answer on each assignment.)
•Body of the paper—State the main ideas, state major points in each idea, and provide evidence. There should be a separate, clearly labeled section with a section heading that addresses each question listed in the Objectives section.
•Summary and Conclusion—Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the body of your report. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect the field or industry.
•References—Use the APA reference format as specified in the DeVry University Library’s APA resources. Include in-text citations in the body of the paper in the form (author, year) and references in the reference list at the end. Use hanging indent format, and put the reference list in alphabetical order.
Additional hints on preparing the best possible project.
•Apply a three-step process of writing: plan, write, and complete.
•Prepare an outline of your research paper before you go forward.
•Complete a first draft and then go back to edit, evaluate, and make any changes required.
•Use visual communication to further clarify and support the written part of your report. You could use example graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, animation, video clips, tables, and infographics. If you use an image or other media from a source, be sure to cite the source where used in the paper and include the source in the reference list at the end.
