You have completed all of the steps.  You decided on a topic.  You created an outline.  You wrote a rough draft.  NOW it is time for you to write your final paper.  WHAT FUN!!!!

Assignment Specifications:

• Write a paper 8 - 10 pages in length (This is 8 - 10 pages of actual content.  It does not include the title page, abstract, table of contents, reference page, or appendix.)
• Include the following parts:
  • Title page (This must follow the format found in your Graduate Packet (around pg. 47) http://www.uni.edu/coe/ci/Grad_Handbook.pdf
  • Table of Contents (sample: tableofcontents.pdf)(formatting hints: formatTOC.pdf)
  • Abstract (Write this last after you have written your paper.  You should follow the steps outlined on pg. 12-3 of the APA Manual 5th edition.)
  • Introduction
  • Methodology (samples: methodology1.pdf, methodology2.pdf)
  • Analysis and Discussion
  • Conclusions and Recommendations
  • Reference page (Must include at least 6 references listed using the APA 5th edition format)
  • Appendix (only if needed)
• Format your paper using APA format (5th edition).
  • Instructions for using headings in your Seminar papers (headingstandards.pdf)
• Use the feedback that you received from Dr. Z on your rough draft.Your final paper will be graded as a whole product based upon the rubric supplied. It is expected that you will use proper APA format, spelling and grammar. Not all of your spelling and/or grammar errors were necessarily found by your professor in reviewing your rough draft. Therefore, not being informed of an error in the rough draft is NOT a valid excuse for having an error in your final paper.
• Review the rubric below.  This is how Dr. Z will evaluate your paper so it only makes sense for you to use the rubric to evaluate your paper before you submit it. The descriptions of the paper's parts given above are rather vague. These have all been defined in your readings and in lectures in class.  The rubric provides a much more specific definition of what will be expected so it will provide you with the necessary specifications.

Submit:

• Submit your final paper in the eLearning Assignment drop box by class time on the due date.
• Name your paper with your last name and then "finalpaper" (i.e., zeitzfinalpaper.doc).  Include the .doc extension at the end.
