Your paper needs to be at least 2400 to 3500 words (not counting references nor any tables, lists, or graphics (which all should be sourced as well) (use Times New Roman Font 12 pitch) which add up to approximately 9.6 -14 pages of text not including title or references ( hint: well-exceed minimums and remain under maximums). Check your word count on Word by highlighting

__Paper must meet the requirements listed and use each of the subtitled areas as the format of the paper. A paper not using subtitled areas is not acceptable. This is an original paper written for this class. Self-plagiarism is plagiarism.

_____Use at least 10 academic references or more (which include journals, academic worthy online academically qualified sources). References will not include your text or any other textbook in the program nor newspapers, editorials, nonacademic blogs, no nonacademic websites (government and education websites are acceptable). Theories and sources must be located in the journals or other books not part of this program. NO TEXTBOOK as your source.

_____Papers is well organized

____Double-spaced with 1 in margins top, bottom, left, right

____Times new Roman Font 12 pitch

____I exceeded the minimum word count for this paper (this word count does not include my title page, tables, charts, outline, reference page nor appendices if included) Do not use your outline; Do NOT use an abstract in your paper. Have a title page and reference page (including only the references shown in your in-text citations).

___ Post word count on the title page

____Must be in APA format

___ Hanging indent of References, alpha order for references, proper APA format for each reference

____No personal pronouns or secondary pronouns (I, us, we, you, me, etc)

____ All references must be properly cited in the text of the paper (if it is on the reference page it should be cited in the text of the document and vice a versus

____ Only two properly cited direct quote is allowed that is no longer than 9 words. All other sources must be paraphrased with in-text cited sources and referenced also on the back page. This is a requirement of this paper. Quoting is not allowed except for this one exception. I completely reconstructed any paraphrase and use my own words for the paraphrase showing that I understood the concept and could easily tell someone else about it and how it applies to the paper. I did not replace words with synonyms trying to hide my patchwork plagiarism.

____The reader will easily see where I am paraphrasing a source; where the source starts and ends (review APA format information under Course Documents: Article: “Good, Bad and Ugly of In-text…” located on your reference page). Remember you use in-text citation where the reference begins and then where it ends or another reference or your own thoughts begin. In between, use pronouns or author’s last names to ensure that the reader knows you are still paraphrasing the same author in between the two sentences with the in-text citation.

____Turnitin initial score and review report which should be a very low percentage (only one report provided).

____ All Turnitin report highlighted areas except for author names or proper nouns have been rewritten in paraphrasing and then submitted.

____ References should be balanced in use throughout the paper. One reference being used mostly and then providing 9 rarely used references does not make for a well-sourced paper. Reliance is to be from multiple sources significantly used to support main points.

____Title page and the reference page are required in your paper but not part of your word count. NO Abstract no outline is to be included. This is a small paper in which an abstract is not necessary. Your introduction paragraph definitely should suffice. Your outline was only to help you get started.

____This is an original paper written for this course.

____I definitely realize if I plagiarize at all (even one sentence or patchwork plagiarism even citing the source) I will incur a grade of Zero on this paper and probably a C in the course as the highest grade obtainable.

____I will review my Turnitin report to see if there are any highlighted words and then rewrite any sentences or words that may be highlighted words that are not “proper nouns” (titles of departments or titles of laws or proper nouns do not need to be changed as they will be highlighted etc.)

___I have contacted the instructor for any questions I have had early in this process.

____References are alphabetized on the reference page by the author’s last name. All authors are listed in their sources in the order provided. A line of authorship means the author who should receive the most credit is listed first and then co-authors are listed after in order of contribution. Don’t change this order in the reference or in-text citation. All authors should be listed the first time you cite them in the text of the document and then they can be listed as below chart shows.

___ I have connected this checklist to the very end of the paper and submitted it with my final submission (DO NOT submit this checklist in the Turnitin) I will check these off.

____I only directly quoted no more than two sentences less than 9 words (at the most in this paper as permitted by the instructor). You do not have to directly quote a source in this paper; this shows only a maximum allowable amount you are able to directly quote in your paper.
