Guidelines for Writing the BUS-285 Research Paper

1. Each student will chose a Fortune 500 company research project topic of their choice on a First-Come, First-Serve basis. Students should research the major internet search engines such as: www.yahoo.com ; www.infoseek.com ; www.google.com ; etc.; and the college research library for further research material. The research paper will be at least 12 pages of material, not including the title page, table of contents, reference pages.

2. Each student will prepare, present, and turn-in a typed research paper project. It is the responsibility of the student to receive approval for the research project topic before beginning work on the project.

3. The font should be easy to read and consist of ARIAL 12 characters per inch and use 1-inch margins top, bottom, and both sides of the paper.

4. The paper will be 1.5 spaced and each page will be at least ¾ full of material .

5. Proofread your paper carefully. You are expected to use correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Present your subject matter in an orderly manner. Ensure continuity in the development of your company research project.

6. Your paper must include at least 5 references. Include all citations in the paper in the List of References. Likewise, ensure that all references listed are cited in the paper. Citations and references must be crosschecked to ensure accuracy. Do not turn in a paper with your best guesses as to how to reference particular sources. Find out exactly how to reference your sources before you turn in your paper.

7. Word-process the paper to facilitate a clean, professional image. Use a good-quality printer with sufficiently dark type to facilitate reading.

8. The research project will count as 20 percent (written project).

9. Plagiarism results in an automatic “F” and referral to the Honor Board. Plagiarism consists of copying, summarizing or paraphrasing an author’s phrase, sentence, or passage and not crediting or citing that author. Plagiarism also includes buying term papers and handing them in as your own work.
