Put the knowledge that you have learned in this class to practical use. You have
collectively chosen one of the three options to create a research paper
Paper Minimums & Standards
1. I recommend you choose your topic soon and please ask any questions only after
you have reviewed the subject to better understand the topics.
2. Research on the paper must include at a minimum 8 references in this paper.
Periodicals (journals preferred along with magazines and newspapers) are the best
sources for much of your research. But, occasionally, selected websites will offer
good information. Books are typically not used for this type of research. Likely,
half of the references should come from using Galileo (Georgia Library Learning
Online), Business Source Complete, Lexis-Nexis, and the remainder from the
academically significant WWW sites. Please note that Wikipedia, social media
postings, blogs, about.com, howstuffworks.com and like websites are not
acceptable sources to use in this paper. When in doubt, ask me if it is a source you
can use. Those unacceptable websites should be used to familiarize yourself with a
topic and then you continue to find a more academic resource. Use of
unacceptable sources will result in a mandatory deduction of 10 points per reference
used. If you are in doubt what is acceptable, just ask me in advance.
4. The research paper should incorporate your thoughts from reading the articles and
when you quote directly the words of someone else, you must use proper APA style.
Take a look at the APA Guide for questions on this and you may look them up
online. Remember, the project should be your words for the most part explaining
the topics researched. See The OWL at Purdue website for an excellent source on
APA papers and references. There is a zero tolerance for plagiarism on this
assignment.
5. The References must be also completed in proper format. The URL alone is NOT
acceptable as a reference on the reference page. (The OWL at Purdue shows you
this as well)
6. Minimum Paper Requirements are also listed below, however, no less than 4 full
double-spaced pages, using 1″ inch margins all around and a 12 point typeface
(Arial, Calibri, Cambria, Times New Roman are preferred fonts). The References
page is in addition to the pages, and any cover sheet included at the beginning of
the paper and does not count toward the 4 page minimum. You must proof, spell
check and grammar check your document. Read your paper before submitting, out BISM Research Paper 2
loud – it helps you find errors. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO
THIS PAPER.
Each of you will write (not including references) a research paper one of the three
topic choices in this assignment with the following guidelines.
? Minimum 4 pages; You may write more.
? Minimum of 8 references must be used; You may use more.
? Your research must come from sources that are academically acceptable.
? All reference citations in your References should be made using standard
electronic search procedures, see librarians for help using GALILEO. See the
OWL at Purdue website for proper APA format.
? Papers are to be typed, double-spaced, use standard typefaces referenced
earlier (ask if you have questions). Use 12 point font size and l inch margins
all around. It must be grammar and spell checked.
? Use a cover sheet, which has the title, class/section and your name.
? Date due and late acceptance date are listed on the course schedule
? Papers that plagiarize or violate school policies will be dealt with according
to college guidelines
? Final papers are submitted in the dropbox which will open closer to the due
date
Have fun – even though this is a learning experience where you will gain valuable
insight on the task of making educated assessments of real life business situations.
