Research Paper Using Word 2010
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students increase their understanding
of the concept of Protecting Personal Information (PPI) and other ethical
issues related to the use of information technology through research, and 2)
learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a
research paper including using Word 2010/2013’s
citation tools. These skills will be
valuable throughout students academic career.
The paper will require a title page, NO abstract, three to four full pages
of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3 external resources from
credible sources, and a Works Cited/Reference page. Three pages of content means 3 full pages, to
the bottom of the third page. Two pages
plus five lines on the third page will not suffice. Note that submitting a paper that is less
than three pages may affect your grade on several rubric items, including page
length and several content items.
A list of topics from which students can choose is provided
below. Wikipedia and similar pages are
NOT creditable sources. Blogs and
discussion groups are not creditable sources.
The course textbook cannot be used as a source for the research
paper. No more than 10% of the paper may
be in the form of a direct citation from an external source.

Writing Quality for the Research Paper
* Grammar, Verb
Tenses, Pronoun Use, Spelling, Punctuation, and Writing Competency.
*Remember:
spell-check, then proofread. Better yet, have a friend or colleague read it
before submitting it. Read it out loud to yourself.
* Remember: there is not their, your is not you’re, its is not it’s, too is not to or two, site is not cite, and who should be
used after an individual, not that. For
example, “the person WHO made the speech” not “the person THAT
made the speech.”
* In a professional paper one does not use contractions (doesn’t,
don’t, etc.) and one does not use the personal you or your. Use the impersonal as in the previous
sentence. It is more business-like than saying, “Also in a professional
paper you don’t use contractions.”
* Use the impersonal as in the sentence immediately above. It is
more business-like than saying, “Also in a professional paper you don’t
use contractions.”
This is not a speech, it is a research
paper. First and second person should
NOT be used.
