Structure and Style:
Position Papers have a cover page, references page, and written narrative of no less than three pages. The student is strongly encouraged to keep the Turnitin “similarity index” below 20%. All papers must adhere to the APA writing guidelines found in the syllabus and clarified through the APA writing style at: http://www.apastyle.org/
Students are also encouraged to include additional resources when they feel that additional support is needed to reinforce their point, the author’s point, or refute the article’s premise.
