General research paper writing

You should be familiar with how to reference research using either MLA or APA style. Please be

sure to choose either style and be consistent throughout the paper and reference page. If you

need a reminder, you can refer back to your English composition course or you can refer to

owl.purdue.edu. This is an excellent resource for how to reference using either MLA or APA

reference styles.

Often times students like to include their personal experiences and opinions. This can add

some of your personality to the paper. If you choose to share either your experience or opinion,

make it brief (1 or 2 sentences). It also needs to connect to some specific research in your

paper. This is not an opinion or personal reflection paper. You need to base your experience or

opinion on referenced research.
