4. Use font size 12 and 1” margins.
5. Use at least three references from outside the course material (You may use the academic resources included in Week 8) one reference must be from credible resources. The course textbook and lectures can be used but are not counted toward the three-reference requirement.
6. References must come from sources such as academic and scholarly journals and essays found in Grantham Online Library, CNN, online newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, government websites, etc. Sources such as Wikis, Yahoo Answers, eHow, blogs, etc. are not acceptable for academic writing.
7. Cite all reference material (data, dates, graphs, quotes, paraphrased words, values, etc.) in the paper and list it on a reference page in APA style. Provide citations everywhere information from the sources is used for foundational support and for validation of opinions.
8. Use the third-person narrative and avoid the use of the first- and second-person narrative and terms such as; I, me, myself, you, your, yourself, we or us (or related forms such as let’s (let us) or we’ll, we’ve (we will / we have) among others). This will prevent the author or other parties from becoming the subject matter and will maintain the focus of the paper on the central theme and subject matter found in the elements.
