This should be an APA formatted paper, and the above items should be listed as section headings.

. As with any scholarly paper, there should be an introduction and conclusion.

There should be evidence of analysis (not simply reporting the facts about the contract) by means of comparing some items (i.e. salary) to national or regional norms. Some of the sections may be combined.

If the contract is missing a section, note this in the critique. Include the sample contract in the Appendix, and please remove all identifiers if using a real contract from a colleague or preceptor.
