A separate reference page (in APA format) should accompany the paper. Be sure to cite references when used in the paper. I grade this part so use the web to find a brief guide to using the APA style. There is no reason to lose valuable grading points on minor stuff like writing and style violations. Once source of APA is http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/.
Some elements I grade for:
- Number and quality of linkages made between the article and the chapters (this is the most important!)
- Title page is optional, but a name and title is mandatory
- APA style for citations and references only
- Quality of article selected (blogs or superficial articles will receive little credit)
- Introduction and conclusion
- Appropriate use of headings
- Single-spaced paper, double-space between paragraphs (double-check your paragraph settings)
- One-to-two page paper (more, with quality, equals higher grade)
- No first- (I, me, we) or second-person (you, your) perspectives
- I can only open Word-compatible files. Sending the wrong file in the first place will make your paper late if I have to request a compatible file later. Double check submissions to avoid penalties!
Approximate rubric: About 60 of the grade is content, 20% is organization, and 20% is formatting, APA and mechanics (more than five mechanics, APA, and formatting violations will consume this percentage).
