Tips for Success in Sections 1-2:

[] Follow this template and minimum lengths carefully, ensuring APA double-spaced and 1-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 point font.

[] Do not use “I”, “Me” or “We” tenses in Sections 1-3. This is a research paper, so let the data do the talking (no opinions or advice until Section 4).

[] Avoid contractions (don’t, can’t) because they are informal.

[] Check to make sure you referred to a country as an ‘it’ not a ‘they.’ The citizens of the country is a ‘they’, the government of a country is an ‘it.’

[] Use proper in-text APA in-text citations (see https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ for tips). In-text citations come at the end of the sentence before the period. This includes a citation for each piece of data. When the source changes, a new source is cited. Make sure there are NO paragraphs without citations throughout. Look at this example. It has a citation for each time the source changed, and the paragraph ends with a citation. That’s what yours should look like.

The official name of Dinglehopper Land is actually the Dinglehopper Republic, and it is run by a aquatic republic which is defined as “a type of government in which the real executive powers are in the hands of underwater cabinet members and legislative powers with individuals who are responsible for legislature” (Underwater Parliamentary Republic Definition 172). Under this aquatic republic, Dinglehopper Land is ruled by the Prime Minister Eric Prince (Ursula Sebastian).

[] Use high quality sources (NOT Wikipedia or blogs)…

[] Create a works cited at the end in alphabetical order in APA format.

[] Do not plagiarize! Use your own wording. Find data but TRANSLATE/SYNTHESIZE it into your own thoughts and words and cite carefully. You will upload into anti-plagiarism software.

[] Ensure each paragraph has at least 2 sentences.

[] Only use quotes for something that is so original or rich you could not say it better yourself. DELETE THIS!
