Guidelines for Writing Papers at the Graduate Level
Success Tip: Your papers are written communication of your thoughts and ideas. If you want your audience to understand your ideas and be persuaded to take action in support of them, you need to convey your thoughts in ways that make it easy for your audience to follow your train of thought. This means presenting your ideas in an organized way and developing a voice of an organizational leader (as opposed to an individual contributor).
For your papers, start with an outline that addresses the major questions posed in the assignment. At the graduate level, your written assignments (papers) are to be presented in APA Style (Union Institute and University’s standard format). Be sure to check your work for grammar and spelling, as well as formatting (12 points, double space, Times New Roman) before submitting assignments to your professor. In general, your papers should have the following:
Title Page: Title of the Assignment, Your Name, Date Submitted, Course Name, Professor Name, University Name
Body of the Paper:
Introduction (Section 1): State the purpose of your paper and what you intend to discuss. Be clear, concise, specific, and direct.
Body of Paper (Sections 2 and 3): This is the major content of your assignment. Be sure to answer the questions assigned. Be clear, concise, and back up your statements with facts and citations (APA). If you used an outline, use it to form your headings for each section and subsection of the body of your paper. Typically, your headings will address the major questions posed in the assignment. Headings and subheadings help your readers follow your train of thought and changes in focus.
Conclusion and Recommendations (Section 4): Summarize your paper by revisiting your purpose and discuss how you addressed it in your paper. Then, make recommendations for the next steps that you will take as a developing leader in your organization.
Supporting Documents:
References: Anything you cite must be listed in your References (APA)
Appendices: If you have backup material for your readers to reference, it should be placed in an Appendix and referred to in the text of your paper.
