Paper

Objective:

For this assignment you will need to locate three sources on a topic of your choice and write a 3-page paper, double-spaced. The goal of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to:

- synthesize information from multiple sources

- locate peer-reviewed resources using the library databases

- put together a well-organized and edited paper

- properly cite sources in APA format 

- write for your discipline using formal language 

Sources:

For this paper you MUST include two journal articles from peer-reviewed sources and one electronic source.

Be Sure to:

- Start each paragraph with a sentence or phrase that informs the reader of the topic.

- Clearly indicate which material comes from which source. Use lead-in phrases (According to Smith (2004)….) and in-text citations.

- Show similarities and/or differences between the different sources in ways that make the paper as informative as possible.

- Represent texts fairly. Remember, just because you are restating information in your own words, does not mean you are in anyway changing what the source says.
