Your final essay should include four main components:
Title Page
Abstract & Keywords
Main Body
References
1) Title Page
Title of paper
Your name
Course name
Date of completion
2) Abstract & Key Words
On a separate page, provide a 150- to 200-word paragraph that provides a succinct overview of your work. In an abstract, the author typically begins with an introduction of the research topic or problem addressed, followed by the research methodology or design adopted, and closes with the results and implications (or recommendations of the author).
On the same page below the abstract, supply 3 to 5 keywords that are descriptive and representative of the most important aspects of your paper.
3) Main body
The main body typically follows an Introduction-Body Paragraphs-Conclusion structure. Use the framework developed in your Term Paper - Outline assignment to organize your sections and subsections.
The text should follow these formatting guidelines:
have 1 inch margins
in 12-point font, Times New Roman or Times
double-spaced, 8 to 10 pages long, not counting title page, abstract, and references
4) References
At the end of the paper, include a list of all references cited in the text of your paper using APA format. Note that sources cited in the text should appear in the reference list and vice versa.
The references list must:
include a minimum of 4 peer-reviewed journal articles (books/book chapters, conference proceedings, government documents, newspaper articles, and other types of publications may be included, but will not count toward the minimum requirement)
exclude random .coms, .nets, and etc., that are not credible online sources; the use of Wikipedia in general is highly discouraged
