hello, the directions below were given by my professor,
It should be a full draft, including citations and a references/ works cited page. The paper should be 5-7 pages (but no more than 10 pages). Please use 1-inch margins and 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Also, it should be double spaced with no extra spaces between paragraphs. The paper should also have a References page at the end.
Just a reminder, citations should be used each time you write something that is not an original idea of your own or is not common knowledge. Also, any statistical data should be cited. Finally, avoid sweeping claims (“Since the beginning of time…,” “Everyone knows that…,” etc.). If you do make a comparably big claim like that, be sure you have a reputable source to cite it.
Rely primarily on paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is using information from your sources and writing it in your own words instead of quoting it. If you do use quotes, do so sparingly. Avoid long quotes and block quotes. A good guideline is that if a quote is more than 3 lines long, you should break it up and put it in your own words.
the resourse attached are the ONLY resource i am allowed to use and have in this research paper.
Thank you!
