Guidelines for Writing Individual Term Paper

1. Each student is required to write an individual Term Paper on the topic presented in the Group Presentation. The term paper accounts for 20% of the total score for the course.

2. As this term paper is graded individually, you are advised to formulate your own ideas, and

   identify a central theme for the purpose. It must contain a relevant title, an introduction, main body of text, conclusion and references. Graphs, tables and figures should be included where necessary, either in the text or as Appendices. Headings / sub-headings may help readers follow the structure of your paper and the flow of your arguments.

3. Be concise and proofread your term paper before submission to the teacher. Elaborate and justify your ideas/arguments with examples, figures and photos, where needed. Include the date of retrieval when online references are cited.

4. The length of the term paper shall be 2,500 words in English.

5. Make sure you use the proper citation style – APA style (see Annex A). Refereed journal articles and books are preferred to on-line sources, and the total number of references should

   not be fewer than 12.

6. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited according to the University policy and regulations on

   honesty in academic work. Please complete and sign the honesty declaration form before submission to the teachers.
