Each paper should be approximately 1,500 words in length, which equals about 6 pages of writing in APA style. Please note this does not include references and cover pages.

APA writing style is expected for each paper, including:

Formatting: Use of a title page, headers with page numbers, double-spacing, 12 point standard font like Times New Roman, 1" margins, correctly cites sources on separate citations page

Language: Using past tense in citing research, avoiding slang in general

Please refer to documentation I'll provide under the "Papers" link on the Blackboard site

Please note an abstract is not needed, as this is just a short review

At least 4 scholarly sources must be used in each paper (journal articles, scholarly books). I expect that you will also use sources that are non-scholarly in nature (organizational websites, news articles, etc.) as needed. But these sources do not make up for a lack of academic research in your paper.

Topic selection and research:

These papers are not to be an overview of a broad area of study.

For example, a paper that is titled "Leadership" and simply focuses on a massive concept like leadership would not be well received.
While you may be interested in leadership, I am expecting a much more focused paper.

So to follow through with this example, that same student may have a strong interest in a specific type of leadership (lets say transformational leadership from Ch. 1). Further, they are interested in becoming an athletic director as a career goal.

A much more suitable and effective title and focus would then be something along the lines of "transactional leadership and athletic directors". The student is then able to do a focused keyword search and find specific things that relate to the topic at hand.

Overall, the papers should answer the basic question: "How do research and other sources of information inform us about this well-defined topic?"
