name, section, student's name, and date.
- Page #s: Except for a title page, all pages should
be numbered at the bottom center.

work of the student/author should be cited according to the APA
Manual of Style (copies of which are available in the library
or my office).

a working knowledge of grammar, punctuation, paper organization,

from the APA Manual of Style or MLA Manual (copies

daily newspapers, general circulation magazines, or textbooks
are not considered by me to be "acceptable sources"
for research (except for current events). Acceptable Sources
do include books, business magazines, trade journals,
professional journals, professional reviews or the internet equivalent
of any of the above. Be sure to use caution in your internet
sources. They must be professional or "peer" review.
- Please check with me if you have any questions about a particular
source.
