Abstract

This is a very brief synopsis of the entire paper, stating what the issue is and some idea of the approach or analysis used. You may also wish to state what the paper intends to show. The abstract will be a single paragraph.

Title of the Paper

This is the start of the paper. The first paragraph should briefly introduce the problem or issues, without too much detail. Briefly state what this paper intends to show. All except the title and abstract should be double-spaced, as shown in this format sample. Margins are 1” on all sides. Add a page header as shown. First page number should be 3 (since title and abstract pages do not display the header). Use fonts and font sizes exactly as shown in this document.

Paragraph two should outline the structure of the paper, in a fashion similar to this. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents a description of the problem or issue, Section 3 discusses..., and Section <n> presents conclusions. This part of the paper should be only one or two paragraphs long. Generally, two paragraphs is sufficient for the introduction.

Major section numbers should then commence, using the heading formats shown below. Any figures or charts should be small in size, and may not be counted in the page count. They should be labeled “Figure a.b” where a represents the section number, and b represents the sequential numbering of figures within that section. In general, papers for this course should not have figures or charts.

You must have a minimum of five separate references, from different sources (i.e., do not use five web pages from the same web site). References must be done in APA style, and should start on new page. Each reference is double-spaced and formatted as shown at the end of this format document. References should appear in the References section in the order in which they are used in the body of the paper [1], not alphabetically. Inline citations should use reference document numbers instead of author names [2]. An easy way to get the References format correct is to use the Citation Machine web site to build your references, located at http://citationmachine.net/index.php?new_style=2&reset=1#here On the left of this page, under APA, select the type of reference (journal, book, etc.). Then enter the information on the right side, and let this web site build the correct reference format, which can then be copied and pasted into the References section. Build the references as you write the paper, so that you will not have to go back and determine the source of the material in your paper.

Web-based references are permissible, but should be solid articles, not blogs, forum posts, or multimedia links (unless absolutely central to your topic). Do not use Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, or other non-academic encyclopedias or answer sites. Dictionaries do not count as one of your five references. If the web article is from a newspaper for journal site, treat the article as if it is a print reference. If you have problems determining how to cite a source, contact the instructor for assistance.

Minimum page count for this assignment is 8 full pages double-spaced, including references, title page and abstract, and blank pages you choose to put in the middle of your paper.

A research paper should never use first person (I, me, my) or second person (you, yours). Only third person should be used. It should not have a chatty tone as might be found in a magazine column, but should be a formal, educational tone. Do not use questions or contractions. Do not use bulleted or numbered lists. Your goal is to inform the reader about the ethical issue, give him/her an in-depth understanding, and then present conclusions. The paper should have minimal "what is" or "how to", because this paper's audience is technologically savvy, and the paper's goal is to do an ethical analysis.

Make frequent backups of the paper as you work on it. You may choose to leave the formatting details until the very end, but plan at least an hour or two to get the formatting correct. Remember to use the Undo button when Word does not understand what you intended for it to do.

Remember that the purpose of your paper is to do an ethical analysis of all sides of the issue. Give a one or two sentence description of the ethical theory approach(es) that will be used. Then show how using this ethical theory approach can lead to a conclusion that the issue is ethical or unethical. The ethical analysis may be a separate section, or it may be woven into the analysis as the various aspects of the issue are presented. If the paper does not use an ethical theory and do an analysis of the issue, the paper will not earn a passing grade.
