Attached is a template for you to know how the paper is supposed to be structured and also there is a sample paper so that you can get a feel of what the paper is supposed to look like. Also I put 6 pages on the description, I think all of the information can be fit into that many pages even though the sample paper is longer. If there are any problems please let me know.

Citations
Use APA 7 format to properly cite all online,
print, and graphics resources, which should be from a minimum of 8 reputable
sources (i.e. not Wikipediause it as a starting point and go search the
citations at the bottom). This includes IN-TEXT CITATIONS, and at the end, an APA WORKS CITED in
alphabetical order with a hanging indent
Please use the following checklist to ensure your paper is
in top form and ready to earn maximim points when you submit it:
I followed the APA template provided, including cover sheet,
section headings, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font. I will do this
so that Claire/Teaching Assistant don’t have to hunt for my data, but can
easily find it under the section headings.
I used a minimum of 8
credible sources, not Wikipedia.
I created my own
work. I have not let anyone else write it for me. I will not pass of another’s
work off as my own.
There are no
word-for-word copy & pastes or ‘token word swaps’ in my paper that will
show up in my report. I used the draft submission area to identify and
correctly synthesize any wording that was too close to the original source into
my own words.
I have used
quotations sparingly, only when it the piece of information was so profound
[well said], so specific, that I couldn’t say it better myself. Then I cited
it.
Every piece of data
in my paper is in-text cited to the source, and then included in an
ALPHABETICAL works cited in APA format. For example:
Romancia is one of Middle West’s most important
economic centers due to the abundance of chocolate rivers that flow through the
center of country. Beginning in 1912, the country has been exporting natural
spring chocolate and other chocolate products around the world. Prior to the
discovery of liquid chocolate, the major industries in the country were
confined to candy cane mining and marshmallow growing (Depp, 2016).
My in-text citations are before the period at the end of the
sentence (see above).
All of my sections/paragraphs
end with at least one in-text citation. I know that if I use the same source in
one section continuing into the next, I still have to in-text cite it again in
each new section, otherwise it looks like I forgot to cite an area of my paper.
Every piece of data in every paragraph has a citation to cover the data.
I have scanned
through my entire paper, and there are no gaps in my in-text citations. Every
paragraph, every section, has ample citations. The instructor will not wonder
where I got my information from. It will not appear that I am claiming I came
up with this information up myself.
I did not use the
I/You/Me/We tenses until that very last section where my opinion is asked for.
I know that doing this will make my paper sound informal, like I am giving
travel advice/blogging, not the formal, academic research paper that it is
intended to be. (use the ‘command f’ [Mac] or Home/Editing/Replace
[Windows] to do a ‘search in document’ to find and replace these easily)
I avoided using contractions
in my paper (it’s, don’t, couldn’t) because it makes my paper sound too
informal. (use the ‘command f’ [Mac] or Home/Editing/Replace [Windows] to
do a ‘search in document’ to find and replace these easily)
I left my personal
opinion out of the research paper, and let the data speak for itself, until the
last section.
I did not make any
errors in tensing. For example, I referred to a country as an ‘it’ and citizens
of that country as ‘they.’ (use the ‘command f’ [Mac] or Home/Editing/Replace
[Windows] to do a ‘search in document’ to find and replace these easily)
I did not mistake
‘it’s’ (contraction for ‘it is’…don’t use contractions anyway) for ‘its’
(posessive) (use the ‘command f’ [Mac] or Home/Editing/Replace [Windows]
to do a ‘search in document’ to find and replace these easily)
I don’t have any
lonely little sentences hanging out by themselves (one sentence does not a
paragraph make!)
My works cited is in
APA format, including being entirely double-spaced with a hanging indent.
I have scanned my
work for typos the computer won’t catch. I have had someone proof-read for me
to catch what I am too close to see.
I have submitted my
paper twice so that the first time I can scan my own academic integrity report
AND ensure that I have resolved any questionable areas of my paper before final
submission.
If you take some time to use this checklist, you can avoid
seeing these as feedback in your paper when graded.
