Writing Style Expectations
The following are writing style expectations:

Use subject headers for all papers - your reader appreciates and expects that level or organization to your work!
No contractions & No abbreviations - if you are referring to the United States of America, write it out...do not write 'US' - this is not stellar academic writing.
Use Times New Roman 12-point font, 1" margins, double-spacing  with 0 point spacing.
Only one citation credit allowed per sentence in this course.
Indent the first line of each new paragraph five spaces.
No extra blank lines inserted between sections – deliver a tight paper.
No bullet points, alphanumeric lists, or numbered list - write formally in full sentences / paragraphs.
Numbers one through nine within your paper should be written out
Cover page and reference page required for ALL paper submissions
Never use all capital letters
Use authored references for your research to earn full points.  An authored source is simply one that is associated with a human(s) NAME.   For example, your textbook is an authored source.  The United States Census Bureau is not an authored source.  But it is fine to use as long as you ALSO use an authored reference source.
Always include the full URL as to where you found your research online articles - never just the home page.
Avoid wikis, blogs, tweets, videos, dictionaries, and encyclopedias as outside references - use Masters-level sources like the Journal of Marketing or the Journal of International Business - No wikis, prezis, slideshares, dictionaries, encyclopedias, videos, interviews, & podcasts allowed as references – only scholarly written sources from well-respected sources.
