• Your paper should be five to eight (double spaced) pages of text, not counting references.
• The information you use in writing your paper should come primarily from scholarly sources
and those sources should be cited and referenced using APA formatting. Please use at least six scholarly sources (dictionaries and encyclopedias do not count!) of which four must be from peer reviewed journal articles. No more than two can be strictly web based. At least
three of your references must have been published in 2018 or later and at least one needs to have been published in 2020 or after to show that your story – and facts and figures are current. I reserve the right to deduct fully half of your score if you do not meet the
reference source or citation and reference list formatting requirements.
• You should include at least one figure, a quantitative graph or image, along with a suitable
caption and reference citation. You should also cite the figure in the text somewhere.
