The running head should appear flush left at the top of the title page (but below the page header). It should not exceed 50 characters. NOTE: A running head is usually not required for student papers. Check with your instructor. Running head: QUIT WHINING AND START 1 Quit Whining and Start Writing Trudy R. Bell Braveheart University Page number number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page. Insert the page number at least 1 inch from right-hand edge of page. Title, author and institutional affiliation type the title in upper- and lowercase letters, centered between the left and right margins and positioned in the upper half of the page. If the title is two or more lines, double-space between the lines. Authors should be listed in order of their contributions using upper- and lowercase letters below the title. Include the institutional affiliation, centered under the author s name. Sample title page ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABSTRACT - (an abstract may or may not be required...check with your instructor) QUIT WHINING AND START 2 Abstract Students waste an enormous amount of time whining and complaining about having to write research papers. This paper will examine the primary reasons why so many students dislike and find it so difficult to write research papers and why procrastination is so rampant within the academic environment. Several strategies for Increasing enthusiasm and de- Abstract a brief (not longer than 120 words), but comprehensive summary of the paper. Begin the abstract with the most important information followed by 4 or 5 of the most important findings or concepts of the paper. Use the active rather than the passive voice, but do not use the personal pronouns I or we. NOTE: An abstract may not be required. Check with your Instructor. Type the abstract as a single paragraph in block format. Do not indent the text on this page; keep it all one paragraph. Use digits (i.e., 1, 30, 15) for all numbers except those that begin a sentence. creasing procrastination will also be offered. Sample abstract

According to a recent study, many college students not only dislike writing research papers they also tend to spend more time complaining about having to write a paper than they actually spend on the writing process itself (Smith, Turner, & Anderson, 2001). There are a number of reasons why students procrastinate when it comes to writing research papers, but research has shown that the number one reason is lack of organizational skills (Martin, 2003). (Sample first page of text) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REFERENCES all sources included in the References section must be cited in the body of the paper and all sources cited in the paper must be included in the References section. Basic formatting for reference list 1) References begin on a new page with heading centered, 2) the reference list is alphabetized by authors last names, and 3) the entire reference list should be double-spaced. QUIT WHINING AND START 12 References Block, J. K., & Marlow, P. (2004). What s the matter The first line of each reference is aligned with left margin; subsequent lines should be indented ½ inch (or five spaces). with college students today? Journal of College Studies, 24, doi: j.chb Martin, B. J. (2003). Why students procrastinate. The Academic Scholar, 28, Smith, W. P., Turner, R. E., & Anderson, P. T. (2001). Why so many term papers? Scholastic Journal, 37, Undertow, P. T. (2000). How students can write better papers. The Journal of Education, 33, White, B. (1980). Winning the term paper game. NY: Plenore Press. Sample reference page
3 CITING SOURCES WITHIN THE TEXT OF A PAPER 3 PARAPHRASING (restating an author s words in your own words) Rule: Include the author s last name and the publication date: Examples of paraphrasing - 1) According to Smith (1997), many students have trouble reading 2) Turner (2005) urges employers to treat employees in a fair manner 3) Hooch, Brown and Wallace (2004) have indicated that several groups 4) Many degree candidates have relied heavily on financial aid (Burns & Pope, 2000). DIRECT QUOTATION (using an author s exact words) Rule: Short quotations (less than 40 words) should be enclosed in quotation marks and the author s last name, publication date and page number(s) should be included. If the source is electronic (article from web site, etc.) and does not provide page numbers, use the paragraph number: Examples of short quotation 1) Men's appetite for invasive cosmetic surgery is dropping off (Voiland, 2008, para. 5). 2) The rules of the employee recruitment game have changed (Smith & Jones, 2006, pp ). 3) According to Turner (2004, para. 3), when people work together great things happen. Rule: A quotation of 40 words or more should be displayed in a block quote and quotation marks should be omitted. The text should be displayed in a freestanding block. Start the quotation on a new line, indented ½ in. from the left margin. The author s last name, publication date and page number(s) or paragraph number(s) should be included. Doublespace the quote: Example of block quotation According to Breeding (2008): Each page on your site should be designed from two major perspectives. Many web authors or designers just consider how the page will be viewed by end users as they navigate through a site. They will optimize the site for visual appeal, usability, and navigation. It's just as important, however, to optimize the page to maximize its findability in the search engines. (para. 6) Place the period before the citation
