Major Term Project: Adopt a Team

As fulfillment of the research component of this course, students will complete a major term

project. Reports are to be typed, double-spaced with the class number (HSTM 4430), your

name and date on the top of the page.

Assignments without a name will receive no credit.

All papers should be e-mailed to the instructor by the deadline. Any late papers will receive a 5 pt. reduction each day that is late. Extenuating circumstances beyond your

control will be taken into consideration only when contact has been made with the instructor

as soon as possible.

Papers should be written using one of two formats: American Psychological Association

(APA) or the Modern Language Association (MLA). Additional tutorials and information on

how to write quality papers can be found online at the Troy University Writing Center,

http://troy.troy.edu/writingcenter/research.html. A link to this site also is included in the

“External Links” section of the course site on Blackboard.
