(Also everything is double spaced)

(Please note the numbering of the pages)

Statement of the Problem or whatever the next subject/topic is

Academic Honesty

Academic honesty is highly valued at the Texas A & M University – Commerce. You must always submit work that represents your original words or ideas. If any words or ideas used in a class posting or assignment submission do not represent your original words or ideas, you must cite all relevant sources and make clear the extent to which such sources were used. Words or ideas that require citation include, but are not limited to, all hard copy or electronic publications, whether copyrighted or not, and all verbal or visual communication when the content of such communication clearly originates from an identifiable source. Please see the Texas A & M University – Commerce Graduate Catalog for more information about academic honesty, including consequences of academic dishonesty.

APPENDIX A

(Following listing of Appendix should continue with alpha B, C. etc.)

(Note that the paging goes back to right corner).

Typically this is the section for tables, graphs, etc.

The glossary of terms may be placed in an appendix. Many individuals prepare a table of the glossary and the matrix of the table has the term, definition and then an example. Always remember to give reference credit to the source that you obtain both the term and the definition. (The glossary may also be in the body of the paper).

THE GLOSSARY IS NOT COUNTED AS TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES IN MEETING THE ASSIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS. Therefore, in Week One if an individual included the glossary in the body of the paper then the text, beginning with page 3 should go more than 8 pages. Did not deduct points for this for Week One but deduction will be applicable for the following weeks.
