Please label your document with your initials and the tittle of your paper. For example LF.improvingmarriage.doc. Format for papers must be in Microsoft word format. That means ONLY.doc OR .docx files. No Exceptions! Please do not submit papers using .wps (wordperfect), some type of compressed MSWord file, wordpad, .pdf or any other formats. This is an easy requirement, which for some unknown reason is difficult for some students to adhere to. Yes, only WORD format, that is you should be able to see the \u201cdoc\u201d or docx\u201d extension file; if you don\u2019t see it, it is not Word. This is a requirement for ALL assignments.<\/p>\n
The paper should be an \u201cargumentative\u201d paper, that is, you should expand on a topic, point, or thesis, and convey your best supportive arguments for it. An \u201cargumentative\u201d paper does not mean you are going to \u201cargue\u201d, and this should be self-explanatory, but some students ask me this question regularly. An argumentative paper is a paper in which you advance a thesis framed in form of a question; that distinguishes it from a purely \u201cdescriptive paper\u201d. In other words, let\u2019s say you are interested on Erickson\u2019s stages of development. Rather than writing a paper describing the stages of development, I rather you ask for example \u201cWere Erickson\u2019s own struggles with identity part of his motivation for his theory\u201d? Now we have a good paper on the making. You should also note the facts or factors that counter your argument. Finally, you should write a summary or conclusion that takes into account the arguments pro and con.<\/p>\n
As with any other good paper, you should have an introduction, a main body of the paper (separated in sections as needed), and a conclusion. Since I want you to use APA style, your paper should also have a short Abstract and a Bibliography (Minimum 5 citations) and should be free of misspellings errors. The length of the paper should be at least 2500 words.<\/p>\n
In summary, your paper should follow this outline:<\/p>\n
The paper should be written using APA format ONLY, and it should be minimum -2,500 long not counting title page and bibliography. The paper has to have a title page, followed by an Abstract in which summarizes the main idea of your paper. Then you should have an introduction followed by the main body (Text) of your paper. Finally, it should have a Conclusion and a Bibliography. Therefore your paper outline should be as follows:<\/p>\n
Title Page
\nAbstract
\nIntroduction
\nMain body of your paper
\nConclusion
\nIf you have never written an APA style paper I suggest you consult your Librarian for guidance or information on APA style. <\/p>\n
