Line spacing– Within each paragraph, text must be single-spaced. Between paragraphs, there must be a double space. This means that line-spacing in your document will be like line-spacing within this writing guide.

Content information– Within the body of your report, you will refer to concepts discussed in class. It is NOT enough to simply use terms correctly. You must demonstrate that you know the meaning of each term, and this is accomplished by defining the term within the text. For example, “As Robbins and Coulter (2005) note, the control process is intended to enable us to monitor activities to ensure that they are being accomplished as planned. It also provides us the opportunity to correct any significant deviations from the plan.”

Works cited– The last page of your document will be a works cited page. It will be labeled as such. For this section, the works cited label will be centered at the top of the last page, and entries will be single-spaced within and double-spaced between. You must list the source of all information used. You have to use APA writing form.If you are unfamiliar with these, you can find help in the Writing Center.
