In reference to the assessment model; does a copy of the model need to be included as an appendix? Gina Pisani-Loomis

Use the Appendix for such documents as interview questions. I am not sure what you mean by "the model." J. Arzt

Kritzia LaRose-

Is there a minimum number of references for the final paper?

There is no minimum or maximum. Ballpark figure: 8-10 peer-review journal articles if possible is a good number to consider, plus additional sources as needed for introduction, conceptual framework--thus in total probably about 20. See the two sample Project 2 papers to see how those students addressed the mix of peer-reviewed and other sources. J. Arzt

Can we add supplementary references that are pertinent to the research topic, but not discussed in the paper?

APA style requires a match between in-text and References. Thus, only include what is cited in the text in the References, and be sure all in-text citations have corresponding References citations. J. Arzt

Andrea Jakiela Willl we be working on methods tonight in class

Thanks for the link to the video

Andrea, the oral presentations went longer than expected, so we did not fully cover Methods. However, in the meantime, check the presentations off the class website. There are three about Methods. All can be accessed as Google Doc presentations by clicking on the hyperlinks. Or you can use the links at the bottom of the page and click and open the presentations as PowerPoint files. Let me know if they help you with your Methods section. I will check back if you have questions. J. Arzt

Andrea Jakiela Question- The papers posted for example did not have a significance section in part two. Both had it in part one. I only picked up the introduction and the questions/vocabulary and then began the review of the literature. Should I move it to part two? If so where does it go? Thank you.

When you submit your Project 2, include all the parts so the paper looks like a complete proposal. Most often, a Significance section falls right after a Research Design one, but it can also be placed elsewhere. For now, place it right before your Conclusions section. J. Arzt

Kate Whalen- Dr. Arzt, I sent you my paper today, 5/5/12. I was wondering if I set up my appendices correctly??? Are they each supposed to be on a separate page or is it ok that I just put a space between?
