Education

Posted: December 10th, 2013

Identify a higher education administration topic that you may want to examine for a paper in the program (note: this is just an exercise, so you do not have to actually write/research the entire paper). Do a preliminary library search and web search on your topic and identify the following sources related to your topic:

• A book
• A chapter from an edited book
• A peer-reviewed journal article
• A website

*Don’t worry too much about if these are the best sources or if they all work well together- this is an exercise of APA, not a heavily content-based assignment.

Write a 2-page (double spaced) paper using these sources (meaning that each of the sources need to cited at least once within the paper). Think of this assignment as a topic overview paper. In the paper you must do all of the following:

• Paraphrase content and include a citation
• Use a direct quotation and include a citation
• Cite at least two sources in the same sentence
• Cite a secondary source (i.e. as cited in….)
• Include a Reference Page with the full citations listed
• Format the paper using APA formatting (i.e. margins, fonts, paragraph format); Note that you do not need to include a title page or abstract
• Use at least two levels of headers in the paper

You must also include a proper reference page
