Hit the tab key one time to begin the main body of the paper. The paragraphs of the main document are indented. The computer will wrap your text for you based upon the margin settings established by this document template. It is not necessary for you to hit the Enter or return key at the end of a line of text. Only hit the enter key (one time) when you reach the end of a paragraph. Then hit the tab key to indent and then continue typing the paper. In APA, any source that you use in your paper must have an in-text citation. In APA, these citations include the author’s last name and the year of the publication in parentheses (Name, Year).
Review
In this section, you should provide a critique of all 7 articles you researched on the topics presented. Specifically, you are conducting a mini-review of literature that will support (or may not) your point of view. If using separate sections for the review, set up as follows:
Level 2 Header use: Flush Left, Bold, Title Case Heading
Sub-section your essay using sub-headers in the same sequence you introduced your topic in your lead paragraph, your thesis. Reminder: this is not an annotated bibliography. This section is a critique of your research articles.
Level 3 Header use: Flush Left, Bold Italic, Title Case Heading
The more lengthy or complex your essay, the potential for using additional Level Headers; notice the subtle difference. One tip for any submission, always double-check the font choice is consistent throughout the essay.
Findings/Results of your Research
What did you learn from your research? This should be written in first person. Think of this section in a different way. For example, ask yourself, is there a specific factor/issue that was new or important to you? Would you be able to incorporate any suggested changes in your workplace or organization? Was your thinking on this topic changed or enhanced? In what ways? What do you still want to learn about the topic? – this ties in with the following recommendation.
Recommendation for Future Research (not best practices)
In this section, discuss the areas of research that need further study or examination. Include one or two items to consider that are specific and measurable. This ties in with findings section. For example, if writing about change management, you could specify one or two factors from Kotter’s principles and compare successful/unsuccessful implementation of these in different industries or geographical locations.
Conclusion
Begin to summarize the main points of your topic in three to five sentences. The conclusion of your paper should re-phrase the points of what your reader should be left remembering, nothing new, concise and to the point. Do not introduce any new material in the conclusion that was not previously discussed.
