Suggestions for the proposal Incorporate each week’s suggestions. The week 6 proposal will enable revised

weekly assignment grades, where relevant.

Week 4 CA 517 4

Double-space everything and indent paragraphs using tabs.

If you use five spaces to indent, when you use the replace function to remove extra spaces, you will cause a problem with your formatting.

Avoid using an APA style program because it may introduce errors into your work.

Week 4 CA 517 5

Be a scientist No opinions about anything. Not even

“interestingly. . .” Just the facts from research articles you cite.

Only one question, the research question.

Week 4 CA 517 6

Avoid gender bias against researchers.

No first names. No he or she references to authors.

Week 4 CA 517 7

A few other items. “Punctuation inside quotation marks.” When you have a whole paragraph of

information from one study, you can indicate the author (year) at the beginning. Then after you write all the information, you can put the page numbers or some other indicator at the end (pp. 356-370).

Week 4 CA 517 8

Introduction This should be a brief overview to explain

the problem. State your research question and how you will answer it.

Week 4 CA 517 9

Final sweep When you finish, replace all extra spaces

with the replace function. Remove extra lines and set double-space

with the format and paragraph function. Add header from view function with your

last name, topic, and page.

Lack of Ethics The Tuskegee syphilis studies 1932-
