Your research paper should follow APA format, check thoroughly for grammar and punctuation, and most importantly, make
sure you answer the entire question asked. Avoid “brain dumping” – if there is a specific question on a topic, do not spit out
everything you know on the topic; keep it limited to information that answers the question. If the question has multiple parts,
make sure you answer each of them. These are based on concepts discussed in class, but they are first and foremost, researchbased assignments. This means that you need to look beyond the film, text, and PowerPoints to answer them. Your research
paper should consist of at least 10 sources, which should not include your text.
Referencing multiple pages from the same organization’s web site only count as one citation (e.g., Apple.com). When using
more than one page from the same company, provide a URL that links to the home page or entry page for the document. Also, if
there is not a date available for the document use (n.d.) for no date.
All citations in the reference list should be cited in the body of your paper (use APA style guidelines)
