Term Paper Instructions

NOTE: Review the Word Setup Everything document for some basic help on how to use Word, Grammarly, etc. This document can be found in the Start Here module in Canvas.

Prepare the paper using the APA Sample Student Paper (in Start Here module) format. Seek to creatively apply leadership theory. The paper must be more than a mere review of facts and articles. It must demonstrate reasoning, by applying at least three relevant theories and models together to analyze the topic (hint: use the readings from the discussions where appropriate).

After you draft your document, proof it thoroughly using Grammarly AND Microsoft Word's built-in proofing tools. I use both during grading. Note that you are responsible for all issues in the document, even if these two tools do not identify the issue. Accepted rules of grammar, punctuation, and APA style are the grading standard, regardless of what the technology says.

NOTE: Download and print out the Grading Comments file (also in Start Here module), then check your paper against that before submitting. Note the penalty values for each issue noted.

The paper must be at least three thousand words in length (3000), not counting: title page, tables, figures, references list, and any (optional) Appendices; it must correctly cite and use at least 10 references, NOT counting the textbook. Two of the 10 must be peer reviewed journals. ALL cited sources must appear both within the body of the text and in the References list. NOTE: for an "A" grade, the paper must use articles from at least 3 respected journals or books, such as those in the SUGGESTED READING list. Most of these periodicals are available online from the Troy University Library.

In choosing a topic, avoid shallow, insipid generalities (e.g., "the importance of leadership").

Choose a topic of current importance that has not been already overdone. Also, where possible, exemplify your concepts and conclusions by consistently referring to a single, real, focal leader. (Avoid US Presidents and generals.) Here are some broad suggestions, you will need to refine the topic to be more specific:

Leading employees in remote working mindset                                      Removal of leaders
New leaders in handling corrupt mindset of former leader                       Substitutes for leadership
Followership                                                                                      Cross cultural leadership
LMX in relation to other theories
Non-traditional- e.g., native tribes, organized crime
