Requirements:
What am I looking for in a paper? I will grade based on content, organization, readability, and grammatical correctness.
- Content includes your ideas as well as your research. Clear thesis statement. (This is not a book report).
- Organization includes external transitions (section to section) and internal transitions (paragraph to paragraph and sentence to sentence).
- Readability means how well the paper flows. Avoid wordiness and the passive voice. Don't start your sentences with "it is" or "there are."
- Grammatical correctness includes spelling and other grammar errors including subject-verb agreement.
- This paper must be at least 4 full pages of body, excluding the title page, abstract, and reference page.
- Guidelines and Tips
- After you write your paper, read each word out loud. You will find most of your errors. Wikipedia is not a reliable resource and cannot be quoted or used as a source in any Business Law papers. Why? Basically, anyone can add to Wikipedia. That makes it unreliable. To get around this, you can go to sources cited by authors in Wikipedia, check to see if the material cited is there, and cite the original source. The body of your paper must be a minimum of 4 full pages of text. This does NOT include a title page, abstract, body and reference page in APA style.
Special Attention Please: Your paper must be original work—not work already submitted in another class. Doing so will result in a grade of 0 for the paper. You have to do a new paper on a new topic in this class. Do not plagiarize (copying or using the work of others without giving them credit). Use parenthetical references (APA style) within your paper to document all quotations, minor details (for example, statistics), and opinions that are not yours. However, do not document your own opinions. In the past, several students have copied their entire papers from the Internet. These students received a 0 on the assignment and were reported to the administration.Any paper submitted without a reference section will receive a grade of zero.Please visit the rubric under Assignments and Grading in the Course Information Module for more directions on the Research Paper.
