When you open up the file, all you’ll have is one blank page. Make the margins 1 inch on both sides, and top and bottom. Start the pagination by having your software put a header with the number 1 at the top, right-hand portion of the page (doesn’t matter if your word processor doesn’t allow for the 1 to be printed on the first page. Some do, some don’t. Those that don’t, start the numbering with a 2 on the second page.)
I want you to go ahead and put in the title page and table of contents page, using the format I show in the GOOD PAPER, as well as the Course Guide. That will take two pages. On the third page, go ahead and put Chapter 1, centered about six spaces from the top. Leave about a dozen spaces and type in Chapter 2, centered. THIS IS KEY. You are going to start your research with Chapter 2, and it is right under the words “Chapter 2” that you will be pasting your research from your sources as well as typing in what you can’t copy/paste.
Rule #2 Explanation. BIGGEST HELP IS USING THE APUS ONLINE LIBRARY (OL). GO THERE FIRST! LOOK, ITS WE -- THE PROFS AND THE LIBRARIAN -- THAT PUT MOST OF ALL THE SOURCE MATERIAL IN THE ONLINE LIBRARY SO YOU KNOW IT'S GOTTA BE RELEVANT TO THE COURSES WE TEACH OR IT WOULDN’T BE THERE. THERE IS A VERY GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT EVERY BIT OF RESEARCH YOU NEED IS ALREADY CATALOGUED AND WAITING FOR YOU, RIGHT IN THE OL.
BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME IS SIMPLY TYPING A BUNCH OF WORDS IN A SEARCH ENGINE. Just type in your first specific segment from the title (same as the chapter heading from Chapter 2). Since you are typing in something very specific, you should get something very specific. SAVES HOURS OF WASTED RESEARCH TIME SLOGGING THROUGH BROAD, GENERAL, NON-SPECIFIC sources.
