\tResearch Project Assignment \u2013 Writing up the paper
\n\u2022\tFor most manuscripts, the primary goal will be to inform. Thus, avoid purpose statements that include words such as \u201cprove\u201d or \u201cshow\u201d or \u201cdemonstrate.\u201d
\n\u2022\tPapers should be approximately 15-17 pages in length.
\n\u2022\tBe cautious about making claims.
\n\u2022\tFocus the manuscript on the purpose.
\n\u2022\tBe cautious about stating anticipated results.
\n\u2022\tTake an objective, balanced view of the topic.
\n\u2022\tDo not recycle a paper from a previous class.<\/p>\n
\t\tForm:
\n\u2022\tTitle page (a single, separate page)
\n\u2022\tAbstract (a single, separate page)
\n\u2022\tPage numbering (top right or bottom centered)
\n\u2022\tRunning head
\n\u2022\tHeadings (must include the following headings: Literature Review, Methods, Discussion\/Limitations)
\n\u2022\tMargins (one inch margins top\/bottom\/sides)
\n\u2022\tReference page (heading for this page \u2013 References )<\/p>\n
\t\tContent:
\n\u2022\tClear purpose statement
\n\u2022\tA statement of organization
\n\u2022\tClearly identified main points
