Literature Review

YOUR LITERATURE REVIEW: RULES & REGULATIONS
1. Write your literature reviews and make a list of bibliography that you used in the

term paper following APA style.

2. The number of pages of the text of the term paper - 12-15 (or more), excluding a title page, table of contents, tables and graphs, bibliography / references. Font: Times New Roman. Line interval: 1,5. Page numbers included. No indention between paragraphs. Page margins: 2.5 cm left, 1.5 cm right, 1.5 cm top margin, 1.5 cm bottom margin.

3. If you include any tables, diagrams, figures, make sure they are of normal size and not artificially expanded taking much space.

4. Submission: both in electronic format (.doc AND .pdf) and printed format*.

*Your term paper with my remarks (in printed format) and grades will be deposited with the Graduate School. I myself will not have a possibility to print it out. Thus, if you do not bring your term paper in printed format on the deadline, you will get no grade until you deposit the printed version of your term paper with the Graduate School by yourself - that will be totally your own responsibility to arrange everything (how, when. where etc).

5. Deadline for submission (both formats): before Exam 2 on Research Methods – January 8, tentatively.

6. Earlier submissions are encouraged. Printed versions can be handed over to me personally on Mondays or Wednesday before / after the classes.

7. Late submissions will not be accepted!

DON'Ts

•   Don't make any sentence- or paragraph-long quotes from articles in your term papers - paraphrase everything in your own words. You may use only specific two- three words phrases and terms as quotes. But do not use them excessively.

•   Don't be too nervous while working on the term paper this is just a term paper;-)

•   Don't spill coffee on your term paper.
