It should be a minimum of three full double-spaced pages
in length, and at a maximum it should not exceed five full double-spaced pages in length, not
counting reference list, it must be double-spaced throughout, and with a size 12 font. Keep focus
on the topic, rather than dedicating much space to contents of the article that do not relate much
to the topic question. The final research-paper essay is graded on the following criteria:
1. Is typed, readable, free of gross spelling and typographic errors
2. Is well-organized and focused (not rambling, or with irrelevant passages). Well-organized and
focused includes (but is not limited to) following the recommended structure by including all five
subheadings and having relevant content under the subheadings.
3. Addresses what makes the issue or paper topic important, practically and/or personally as well as scientifically
4. (Where that would be helpful to a reader:) Defines key terms clearly, especially potentially
ambiguous terms that will be used frequently in the paper, and/or identifies key assumptions
5. Effectively identifies main features of the article that are relevant to the topic question
6. Applies critical thinking to the research approaches described. This might include: how good is
the supporting evidence (or the rationale), how good is this evidence (or rationale) is, whether
some other reasonable interpretation of findings is plausible but has not been ruled out, samples
or effects being small or results being overly culturally biased, and other issues.
7. Effectively synthesizes evidence and rationales in the article, leading the essay to have a reasonable conclusion that follows from the earlier parts of the paper
8. Originality indications are that (at least) the thinking is your own and (at best) it goes beyond
and even challenges the conventional wisdom or commonsense view on aspects of the topic
9. Provides at the bottom an accurate citation of the article analyzed in the paper (preferably in
APA style, but for this course this style is not required)
