The following are the rubrics for the research paper:

1. Proper length of paper, font size, spacing - 10 points

2. Proper citations listed throughout the paper and at the end of the paper - 20 points

3. Proper grammar and punctuation - 10 points

4. Paper content - 60 points

Be SURE to use your references (citations) throughout your paper. Follow proper citations - even if you use an idea from a reference - put the citation. If you use ANY direct quote from a source (which is permitted) - be SURE to put quotation marks around the material and the citation after it.

Use either APA or MLA style for your references.

Remember - font size = Times New Roman 12 AND double space the paper.
