No less than 5 references or articles or books cited in your paper.

Your paper must reference concepts and terms from the text in this course.

Wikipedia is not an accepted citation source for academic papers, so don’t use it. You may use it as a tool to point you in other directions.

For those of you using articles or books from the library, their online catalog offers tools for rendering citations in your choice of format for cut and paste ease. Check with your librarian for assistance with this.

Spell check before submitting, which will save you from losing points due to spacing errors, spelling errors, and grammar errors.

Use the sample paper as a format guide but do not create an abstract as it is not needed for a short paper. Your paper should have a title page and reference page.

The sample paper will provide examples for most APA formatting but there are also guides available on the web and on some university sites.
