– The term paper should be 1000 words, excluding figures and tables (if any) and citations/references – Term papers are to be double spaced and computer generated using a 12 pt font in either Arial or Times New Roman. All margins should be set to 1 inch (2.5cm) – A Title Page (including the title of your paper, your name, and the date submitted) – The text of the essay (including introduction, body, and conclusion) should be written in the third person (i.e. avoid the use of first person personal pronouns such as I/my/we/our). You are synthesizing information that is based on the work of others, so first person is not required – Any figure pages. In some instances including a figure or diagram may help to summarize or provide a visual reference for material being discussed in the text – Any table pages. Tables can be useful for summarizing information in an easy to read format that can free up word count – A References page in which you list the references for the paper in alphabetical order by author’s last name. All references used should be matched to an in-text citation and all citations used should be listed in the reference – Your essay must be annotated with a minimum of 6 references, to the scientific or popular literature. While you may use the textbook as a reference, it will not count as one of the 6 references. The references must demonstrate evidence that the student has read at least 3 primary research articles from a scientific journal
