A sample report will be discussed in Weeks 4- 6 in class. Research Component: • Include at least five sources from places such as the Internet, newspapers, magazines, books, interviews, etc. • At least one of these sources must be peer reviewed. You must include at least one citation or paraphrase from each source, using the APA style of documentation. • Please ensure you consult the CRAAP/COCOA for reliability of sources (Week 4 Content). • There must be a References page at the end of your report that should be linked to your in-text references. *Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable source and will not count towards your research component. Requirements: • Format: formal report addressed to me OR to your boss/stakeholder • Length: approx. 12-15 pages long, including graphics and References page • Components: title page, table of contents, list of figures, executive summary, introduction, body, conclusions & recommendations, appendix (if applicable), References • Pattern: direct or the indirect, depending on your audience • Correct APA format throughout, including in-text citations and References page (for information regarding APA format, consult the Purdue University Online Writing Lab: APA Formatting and Style Guide) • Organization: sections with effective headings and subheadings • Full block format; single-spaced, 1 blank line between paragraphs; main sections start on a new page • Font: Times New Roman 12-point for text.
