General Instructions - FIX ALL MISSING IN-TEXT CITATIONS and REFERENCES.
USE APA FORMAT.
Using the rubric attached to your Paper #1, revise and improve your Paper. Everyone is required to submit an improved second draft unless you received a perfect score. I was very lenient with the first draft; therefore, please make a strong effort to make changes.
As a reminder, please see the previous instructions.
This paper must be typed, using 10- or 12-point font. Allowable font styles include Book Antiqua, Courier, Palatino, or Times New Roman. Your paper will be (minimum) 1,250 words in length
Use appropriate facts, data, and terminology in your paper. Be factual and do not give value judgments. Avoid redundancy or vague sentences. Be sure each sentence includes new data or ideas that move the discussion forward.
This paper must also exhibit good organization and paragraph construction. Each paragraph must communicate a complete idea with supporting information to clarify or support that idea. Each paragraph must advance the purpose of the paper in a logical fashion, until the title of the paper has been adequately addressed. Here are a few important points on paragraphs:
Each paragraph must have a topic sentence that introduces the topic to be covered in the paragraph.
The following sentences must provide data, arguments, or other information that support or elaborate on the paragraph’s topic.
The next paragraph must follow logically from the last and must begin with a transition that moves the reader from the last paragraph into the new one.
The final paragraph should briefly summarize the material in the paper and smoothly close the topic.
