Report Format & Style:
Use the formal report format described in Chapter nine of the Hynes & Veltsos (2019) textbook. Although there is an example in the textbook that uses a two-column format, we will follow a more “academic” style. Review the example paper on Blackboard for format requirements.
Typeface and Font: Use 11 or 12 Cambria, Garamond or Times New Roman
General Format: This format uses one-inch margins, single spacing, one-column format – not two like in the textbook example- and, skips one line between headings and paragraphs. No indentation is required in paragraphs.
Page Numbers: Include page numbers on all pages EXCEPT the cover page.
Headings: Use at least FOUR appropriate First Level headings, at least THREE Second Level headings and TWO Third Level headings (See Chapter Nine). Use these headings to help organize your report.
Citations: Support your ideas with quotes from your research. In the “style” we are using, you do not have cite your source each time you paraphrase (like APA) but always each quote.
Ex: “Quote quote quote quote” (Author, Year).
Structure: Structure your report with an executive summary, introduction, two discussion sections (in the correct order), and a conclusion (that summarizes the key points of your paper).
*No more than FOUR single-spaced written pages of content. (Not in Count: Cover Page, Executive Summary, and Reference Page).
Research Summary: For this assignment, you should use SIX new sources, SIX quotes from those sources, and THREE quotes from your three selected truths – one quote each. Be sure to include all your sources on your reference page.
