Submit Draft 4 of your technical report here.
Include a revised or current outline (most outlines that have been submitted so far need revision) at the beginning of your document and begin the draft of the report on a new page. At the end of the draft include all references you have found related to your topic which has an in-text citation in the text of the paper.
The paper at this point should essentially be the final paper and meet all the requirements stated at Week 5. This will be an opportunity to get final feedback about anything you missed that should be fixed.
Submit a Word file.
File Name: LastName_FirstName_Draft4.docx.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: All 4 required drafts must be submitted when due. If all the drafts are not submitted, the completed technical report (30% of semester grade) will not be accepted or graded. Each successive draft must show substantial improvements from the previous draft. You cannot submit the same draft 4 times.
Must be submitted on time to receive credit for this assignment.Required major headings in the paper include the following:
(do not number major headings and do not use Roman Numerals; headings cannot be larger than a pitch of 14. Twelve pitch is preferred and they must be in bold type.) Do not indent the first line of any paragraph. If you indent a sub paragraph the indent for the text cannot be more than 5 spaces and if numbered, the number must be at the left margin.
Do not use left and right justification in the text of the paper and references.
Abstract – bold font – This is the last section in the paper you will write.
Keywords– bold font
Introduction– bold font
Other major headings as needed– bold font
Subheadings as needed– use bold font
Conclusions or summary– bold font – This is the next to last section in the paper you will write.
References– bold font
Other requirements
Use acronyms when needed. For the first use of an acronym, type the complete phrase followed by the acronym in parentheses. For example, Bring Your Own Pencil (BYOP). After the first use, you can just use the acronym.
Minimum of 10 pages single-spaced – not including tables, figures and references
Times New Roman 12 point
Standard margins – 1in top, bottom, left and right, do not justify the paper; no headers or footers
Do not use two columns as in the example article
‘In text” citations and the reference list at the end of the paper must be in APA format.
Tables must be identified as a Table with a number and title after the table
Figures must be identified as a Figure with a number and title after the figure
If you did not create the table or figure, you must include an ‘in text’ citation so the reader can identify the source of the figure or table.
References at end must be in alphabetic order – see article from Week 1 for indentation format for the complete reference. For each reference in the list, you must have an ‘in text’ citation in APA format. If you do not cite a paper then do not include it in the reference list. This will be checked. In the reference list, the first line of the reference will be at the left margin and all remaining lines for each reference will be indented a few spaces just like this requirement has been done. All references must have a URL which is a hyperlink. I cannot verify the reference without the URL.
The URLs below contain information about citing references in the text of your document, ‘in text citation’, and creating the reference list at the end of the document. Use APA format in the report for references at the end of the paper and the ‘in text’ citations. This format was used in the article in Week 1.
