ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES FOR YOUR FINAL PAPER<\/span>
Remember that this paper is to be written for a lay (non-research) audience.<\/span>
Introduction to Paper<\/span>
1) Try to summarize\/preview the main question of your paper in the first paragraph.<\/span>
2) Dedicate a couple of paragraphs to why your topic is important. It is okay to be<\/span>
explicit by using a paragraph that starts: \u201cThis topic is important because…\u201d Think about<\/span>
who will benefit from reading your paper and what knowledge will be gained. Say who<\/span>
can use the information of your review and how.<\/span>
3) It is okay to use evidence from popular literature to make the claim that your study is<\/span>
important. Consider using statistics. Support all claims with empirical evidence.<\/span>
4) Make sure you define any key terms. Give one best definition. If the definition is<\/span>
controversial say why you have chosen the definition you have chosen. Usually<\/span>
definitions have citations.<\/span>
5) Give readers important background about your topic. Only give enough so that they<\/span>
will understand the study. They do not need the whole history of your topic.<\/span>
6) Provide a road map of what your reader can expect in your paper.<\/span>
Representative Literature Review<\/span>
1) Start your literature review with a paragraph that previews what we know on the basis<\/span>
of the literature.<\/span>
2) Divide your literature review into sections. Include three or four sections, each with<\/span>
three or four studies. The sections should be conceptual. Use APA headings to divide<\/span>
the sections. Begin each section with a summary argument that states one idea that all of<\/span>
the studies in that section support.<\/span>
3) Make sure you describe the key details for each study. Tell us what the researchers did<\/span>
and what they found. Do not tell us about their literature review or what they think the<\/span>
implications are. Make sure you mention critical ideas that help the reader evaluate the<\/span>
study (How many subjects? Was the sample random?).<\/span>
4) Don\u2019t just say there is a relationship between two variables. Always say the direction<\/span>
of the relationship. For example, don\u2019t say \u201chumor and attention are related.\u201d Say<\/span>
\u201chumor and attention are positively related.\u201d<\/span>
5) Use transitions between studies that explain how one study relates to the next. Usually<\/span>
transitions explain how the conclusions in the studies are related.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guidelines for the Final Paper<\/span>
2<\/span>
6) At the end of each section include a summary statement that articulates what one idea<\/span>
all of the studies in that section argue.<\/span>
7) If a study touches on ideas that are not relevant to your paper don\u2019t mention those<\/span>
results or that aspect of the study.<\/span>
8) If a study is relevant to two or more sections mention the study in both sections.<\/span>
Analysis\/Recommendations<\/span>
1)<\/span> <\/span>At the end of literature review, present a summary that articulates the main argument<\/span>
from each section. Follow this statement about what we know with a presentation of<\/span>
what we do not know.<\/span>
2)<\/span> <\/span>Critique shortcomings of the studies, if any.<\/span>
3)<\/span> <\/span>Provide an analysis of the research you have just presented: what are the key themes<\/span>
that emerge? What would you tell someone about this topic? What are the<\/span>
implications of the research for communication professionals who work in this topic<\/span>
area?<\/span>
4)<\/span> <\/span>What would you recommend to these professionals? You may want to consider how<\/span>
larger trends in digital communication interact with these findings (think the larger<\/span>
topics we covered in the first half of class: digital divide, usability, credibility,<\/span>
demographics related to use). Make sure you provide clear, specific<\/span>
recommendations.<\/span>
Conclusion<\/span>
1)<\/span> <\/span>Restate the main points of your paper and provide a brief summary of your argument<\/span>
and recommendations. This should be a summary of your entire paper and be about 1-<\/span>
