Research checklist

_____You included a separate abstract for your paper with title, thesis, and discussion of main ideas in no more than 150 words.

_____You used at least five (5) different valid and reliable sources for research, and the end pages contain a list of references.

_____The reference section of your paper lists the resources cited in your research, prepared in APA style.

_____Your paper is 10-12 pages, double-spaced, and submitted in .doc format. The 6th edition of the APA Style manual was used for the cover page, abstract, general pages (body text), and references.

The length of the body of the paper will be determined by the amount of material necessary to adequately cover the subject. The paper must be a minimum of 10 pages and a maximum of 12 pages not including the abstract and references. If you do not submit a paper that is 10-12 pages long, you will not have met the requirement for the paper and that will result in a failure of the assignment.

_____Your paper’s layout, organization, and citations conform to APA requirements.

_____You used your own original words to express the key ideas, or if you used those from a resource, you provided a citation at the correct location in the text section. The paper requires original thought; thus, if you write exclusively recapping your research, you will not do well on this effort.
