Paper grades will be based upon the following: a. Evidence of a problem (why is this issue a problem in the field?) (25%) b. Reform policies, legislation, programs, etc. (35%) c. Sources (20%) d.

The paper length should be between 6-8 pages in length (excluding references and a cover page). It should be double-spaced, with 12-point type, Times New Roman or Arial font, one-inch margins on all sides, and left justified. 2. The paper should have a cover page with the title, your name, the course title and CRN number of the class, and date of submission. 3. You must have at least 6 references, but preferably more, and all sources must be cited correctly according to APA guidelines. You will need to provide a reference list and that also must be in APA style. If you have questions about how to cite using APA, there are some useful guidelines on the UHD Library website. At least four of your sources must be academic (academic journals, law reviews, scholarly books, and government or organizational reports). Avoid using websites, Wikipedia, and the text as sources. 4. You must check your grammar and spelling carefully. I suggest that you use a program like Grammarly (https://www.grammarly.com.). It checks your grammar and provides suggestions to correct it. It’s free to use for a paper of this length. 5. Paper grades will be based upon the following: a. Evidence of a problem (why is this issue a problem in the field?) (25%) b. Reform policies, legislation, programs, etc. (35%) c. Sources (20%) d. Paper length/grammar/spelling (20%)
