*The title, reference page and graphics/images are not counted in this four page minimum. You will use at least six different references (not using Wikipedia, an encyclopedia nor a dictionary): one book (not your text book – find another source), three articles from the school database and two internet sources (.edu and .gov only do NOT use .com or .org). If you find a web site other than .gov or .edu that you believe is a good source you MUST get the professor’s approval to use it by the deadline.  Use APA format. You will also cite your references in the body of the paper and in a reference page at the end of your paper. Sources cannot be older than five years. This is science – current references are mandatory.

If you are not sure about correct citation for references use the following web site.
