· Type the paper, using double spacing, on good quality 8 ½ by 11 inch paper.

· Prepare a cover sheet with the following information.

Title of Paper:

· Behind the cover sheet put a title page with the title of your project only. DO NOT include your name or other identifying information on the title page.

· Staple your cover sheet, title page, abstract, paper, and other materials in the upper left-hand corner. DO NOT use a folder or binder.

Remember to:

Proofread checklist (the following are the major mistakes)

· Be sure graphs/charts/data tables are included in the final paper

· Make sure Data Tables and content are consistent (same numbering or titles)

· Be sure to give reference credit in the body of the paper

· Have Bibliography correct and consistent (These should be single spaced. If double spacing paper, add bibliography after completed paper so it remains single.)

· Use spell check and grammar check. “I” should not be in paper. Write in third person.

· Is there Unity and Coherence through out.

Let your paper sit a day and then proofread one last time or have another person read.
