Special Topic Research Paper format:

1. Minimum 5 pages

(not including references and cover page)

2. Use white 8 ½ x 11” paper.

3. Make 1-inch margins on the top, bottom, and sides

4. The first word in every paragraph should be indented one-half inch.

5. APA recommends using Times New Roman font, size 12.

6. Double-space the entire research paper

7. Include a page header known as the

“running head”

at the top of every page. (To make

this process easier, set your word processor to automatically add these components onto

each page)

1. To create the running head/page header, insert page numbers justified to the right-

hand side of the paper (do not put p. or pg. in front of page numbers)

2. Then type “TITLE OF YOUR PAPER” justified to the left using all capital letters

3. If your title is long, this running head title should be a shortened version of the

title of your entire paper

Paper Rubric Guidelines:

1. (30%) LENGTH. Each answer should be approximately 300 words in length. For example, if

your Discussion 2 assignment requires you to answer 2 discussion questions, your entry for

that week should be 600 words in length total (at least 300 words for each of the 2 questions

for that week)

2. (50%) COMPREHENSION. Demonstrate an understanding and application of the course

readings and any other outside reading you may choose to use to answer the question.

3. (20%) REFERENCES. You MUST cite using at least 1 citation per question: • All discussion

postings are expected to integrate information from at least one of the readings, class

materials, and/or from an outside empirical or reputable news source. You should cite both

within the text and provide a full reference at the bottom of your post.
