**Message from the professor about the paper: “For the literature review, it will be important to include as many relevant articles as you can; therefore, at least 2-3 scholarly and 2-3 non-scholarly sources at a minimum. However, if there are more articles that are key to your paper, please include them. The syllabus has the instructions for the paper. When you do the headings and subheadings, please use the headings in the syllabus, but do not include the A, B, C letters, only the words in bold. Please use APA format for the headings (e.g., font, placement, etc.), which is in the latest edition of the APA manual.”
