Instruction
I have a research paper that was checked by a professor and some notes were made. It will be provided, as well as the criteria how the final paper will be graded.
Every page/section requires at least one citation.
It is expected that you have the following:
A title page
The body of the paper: 4-6 pages of text, double-spaced, 12-point font with clear and understandable language with no grammar or spelling errors
Provide adequate justification that supports your response with at least three appropriate references using textbooks, websites, and articles are required
Subheadings (historical and contemporary aspects, public policy, and personal opinion/conclusion)
Appropriate in-text citations throughout paper (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/).
A reference page with only the sources that you used in the body of the paper (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/06/).
Sources should be less than 5 years old unless there has not been recent research available. At least one reference must be a peer-reviewed article from a profession journal. Do not use Wikipedia or encyclopedia as they are not considered a reliable academic source to use
Be sure to follow APA formatting for your paper (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/).
