Success in your career will depend greatly on your written and oral communication skills. Our schoolrecognizes the need for students to develop proficiency in these skills and requires all students to submit aresearch paper and provide an oral presentation in each class in this department.Format:The Research Paper will consist of not less than 10 pages (standard double-spaced with 1-inch margins allaround) of TEXT in length (Title Pages, Tables of Content, figures, pictures, graphs, and references will notbe counted as text. Title Page is required. Table of Contents is not required; an Abstract is required.) At thispoint, let me remind you that if you use Microsoft Word to produce your paper, its default is 1.25 inches, andyou need to change it to one inch. Use only 12-point Times New Roman font on your papers. This will keeppaper length consistent for everyone. Since a word processor is likely to be used in preparation of the paper,it is expected that there will be NO spelling errors. I will caution you that ‘Spell Check’ will not catch wordsspelled correctly but not in the correct context. This is not an English class. However, accuracy is important.Grammar and spelling errors will be penalized at 1 point per occurrence. Clarity can affect understanding. Ifyour work is difficult to understand, the content is questionable. To keep grading as consistent as possible donot submit your papers in .pdf. Documents compatible with Microsoft Word, .doc, .docx, .odt, etc. areacceptable.Proper credit for references used will be included and will be cited within the paper as well as on aReferences page. There will be at least eight (8) outside references used (the textbook does not count as one).In other words, you will have to do some research to back up your conclusions.Papers will be consistent with the APA style manual format. (The requirement for APA style of writing willbe worth at least 50% of your grade.)In the Course Content section of Blackboard is a rubric that will be used to grade Research Paper.I am available via email for questions.Topics:The topic of this paper will be Christian Ethics in Business.Drafts:Drafts of your paper may be submitted in Safe Assign (Draft) in the Course Content of Blackboard. I willcomment on the paper and return it to you for corrections.Attribution:All works and illustrations used in your paper must be cited; this means crediting the source where you foundthe information you used to support your work. If you fail to give credit for copyrighted information youpresent as your own work; that constitutes plagiarism and will be penalized by a zero for the project. Thisincludes any paper that you may have written and submitted in any other class for grade. ALL statements offact MUST be supported by references and citations.NOTE 1: An author must be a person and the date is the year of publication.Citations should be in the format: (Author(s), date) or if for a quote (Author(s), date, page). If the Referenceis no longer than one (1) page the citation for a quote should be (Author(s), date, paragraph). If citations arenot correct a minimum of 10% will be deduct
