Final: Due Mar 10 in class
One paper that will lift off from all 6 papers - combine key elements into one work. Do not write it as if in answer to an assignment, i.e., "... in my second paper I ..." Write it as if you are composing it in order to express your view of behavior, your own and that of others, as your view does or does not coincide with academic theories.

ReplyDeleteMessage to everyone: Write from your heart. Write what you believe. Do not see it as an assignment.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making it clear. It makes writing the paper a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteI had a question about the abstract. Does there need to be a title or can we just use the word "Abstract"? Is it centered? Lastly, do we not indent?
ReplyDeleteThanks MT..very helpful.
ReplyDeleteOops nevermind... Next time I should read thoroughly. Thanks MT.
