Guidelines for Writing the
Research Paper
-
Papers are to be typed and
double-spaced. The paper is expected to be well written; well
organized and demonstrates substantial research. The paper is
to be typed on regular white stock paper with black ink.
Handwritten papers will not be accepted.
-
In addition to the typed
report, an emailed final copy is required as well. The paper
should be emailed to rcottrell@sir-ray.com. Please
insure that the emailed copy is the final draft
as I will be using the emailed copy as part of the overall
grade for the paper.
-
The nature of this
research paper indicates that a minimum of 500
words should meet the standard for a satisfactory grade provided
that the paper is well written with documented research.
-
The cover sheet should
contain the title of the paper and your name.
Simply staple the paper, in the top left corner; do not
submit in any type of folder, plastic sleeve, etc. There are no
pictures; drawings; or other artwork to appear on the cover.
You are encouraged to include pictures and drawings within the
body of your paper.
-
As the research paper
reflects research, more than one source must be
used in the paper’s development. Any source may be used in the
preparation of the paper – books; scientific journal articles;
internet; etc. Each source must be listed on a page titled
“Reference List” which is placed at the end of the research
paper, and is alphabetized according to author. Refer to format
notes below. A minimum of three (3) resources must be
used with at least one (1) of these sources an internet website.
All of your resources may come from the internet. I encourage
you to use only the internet for your research as you will find
the most up-to-date information online.
