Your final paper should be a minimum of eight double-spaced pages (12-point font, 1-inch
margins), including a title page and separate References section. It must be written in either
ASA style (used in most Sociology journals) or APA style (required in Psychology, Social Work.
and many Gerontology journals). Consult the UHD library or the Writing Center for assistance
with ASA or APA style. You will need at least five peer-reviewed references (i.e., no Wikipedia
or popular media!) in addition to any non-peer-reviewed sources you might cite as examples to
illustrate your points. Submit through the “Turnitin Assignments” tab on Blackboard. Your
final paper (due the Thursday in Final Exam Week) will count for up to 20 points toward your
course grade. To be sure that I receive your paper, also send a backup copy as an e-mail
attachment (and forward a copy to yourself to be sure you can open it!).
