This paper and all the other papers in this course should be written as college-level papers – meaning that citations, correct grammar, the APA writing format, correct punctuation and spell checks should be included and accurately so.  All these will be graded, and you do not want to get a B on a good paper, just because you ignored these details.

A few handouts to help with preparing for and writing the paper:

1. Please understand that your paper should be cited, and the assignment gives you the number of articles or books which you need to include in your citations.  While I know that you are already citing in your other courses, the handout on in-textcitations in the Week Four module should give you some quick reminders regarding this issue.

 

2. As you know the process of writing is not done haphazardly, you need to develop a pattern for gathering your ideas and putting them down.  To help you with this process, you will also see a handout detailing the writing process, also found in the Week Four Module.  This handout will be particularly useful when you start on your major paper, but you can also use it for your assignment papers.
