Assignment Paper Mechanics Instructions:
Your essay should be at least four double-spaced pages of text (Times New Roman, font size 12). You will need a cover page and a bibliography. Your paper must be written in a Word Document. You must consult a minimum of two scholarly/academically credible sources from the university library. This means not only are you reading the two articles I have given you, but you will also seek out two scholarly/academic articles to back up your stand on this issue. Your bibliography and citations may be in APA, MLA, or Chicago Style format based upon the formatting used in your degree field. Your formats need to be in order.
If you use any of the information from your sources word-for-word, you must cite the source by using endnotes, footnotes, or parenthetical citations. If you read the information and write it in your own words and it is not common knowledge, you must cite the source because you are paraphrasing someone’s information. Why? This is paraphrasing. You are using someone’s information. This is plagiarism.
So, to rehash one more time, your essay will include the following:
A cover page with your name, course number and course title, instructor’s name, and date. (disregard, I’ll edit this myself)
Four to five (4-5) pages of writing.
A bibliography, formatted correctly, at the end of your paper.
Total count of your paper including cover page and bibliography will be six to seven (6-7) pages.
While composing your paper, use proper English. Do not use abbreviations, contractions, passive voice, or first/ second person (I, you, we, our, etc). You need to submit your paper in a Word document.
