The Front Matter
Page 1: Cover page
This page contains
– The title of your project

– Your instructor’s name
– The date the project was submitted
Follow this link for more instructions on the title page
https://awc.ashford.edu/PDFHandouts/sample_apa_title_page.pdf
Page 2: The table of contents
This page contains the sub-headings of your project and the corresponding page numbers where these
sub-headings can be found
Page 3: List of figures and graphs
This page follows the same format as the table of contents. However, it does not include the
subheadings in your paper. It rather includes the list of tables and graphs in your report and the
corresponding page on which they can be found.
Page 4: Abstract
The abstract is a half a page summary of your project. In this one-paragraph summary, you identify the
technical problem and summarize only the MAIN or MAJOR solutions and findings based on your
research. Make sure the abstract is BRIEF. If you write more than half a page, it means you wrote too
much.
The Report Proper (5 pages minimum, 6 pages maximum)
Pages 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
These pages will contain the actual write up of your research findings. Here are some important tips
– Make sure to use IN TEXT citations in this part of your project, for example (Richardson, 2013). If you
do not use in-text citations, this part will be considered as plagiarized, and you will receive a grade of
zero for writing.
– As you will be using information from your SOURCES, make sure to PARAPHRASE and QUOTE. After you
paraphrase (which means re-write the information and ideas from your sources in your own words), you
have to cite (use in text citation). If you quote, you also use an in-text citation. Every paragraph must
contain at least ONE in text citation from a source. No intext citation means the information is
plagiarized even if you paraphrase and quote. Keep quotations to a minimum (one short quotation per
page). Paraphrase as much as you can.
– Make sure to include ONE GRAPH on each page and not more. This is a brief project. There should not
be too many graphs on each page.
– Make sure to use information from a variety of sources. All the topics you were assigned are recent
and there is a lot about them on the internet. Check out the SOURCES file on Blackboard to see how you
can use Magazine portals to find magazine articles on your project.
The End Matter
Page 10: Bibliography
This page is a full list of the information cited in the text. While you used short in-text citations in the
body of your project, you will write the full information about each source here. Refer to the APA lecture
notes on Blackboard for more information about how to cite in full, whether the information is from a
book, magazine, or website.
Page 11 (Optional): Appendix
This page is optional and it is not mandatory. It includes any extra information that is interesting and
that you came across during your research. However, you were not able to include this information in
your project. In other words, this is extra interesting information about your project for your reader in
case they want to read more about the topic.
