Abstract

An abstract is a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the

manuscript in 100 to 150 words. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief

overview of the paper. You should include the purpose and scope of your primary research

(surveys), but NOT the results or conclusions. You should include a word count at the end of

your abstract. (68 words)

Keywords: pollution, environment, global warming, fossil fuels, carbon dioxide

Introduction:

This is where the body of your paper begins. Your introduction should state the purpose

of your research, give relevant background information, provide any necessary definitions, and

provide an outline of how your argument will be organized throughout the research paper. Notice

that there is no extra spacing between the paragraphs or sections.

The major components of your paper (abstract, body, primary research analysis,

references, and appendices) each begin on a new page. These components begin with centered

headings at the top of the first page. Your papers should be divided into a number of sections

depending on the number of points that you will discuss. The section title should be provided at

the start of every section. Sections can have subsections with headings. All section headings

should be bold, but no additional spacing is required.

Background Information:

Every paragraph begins with indentation (except the abstract). You must use 12 point

font, Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri font type, have double spacing, and have 1” margins

throughout the document. Remember you only need to have double space throughout the

document, you don’t need to leave any spaces between sections. At the end of your introduction,

you must include your research question.

What are some effective ways to reduce air pollution?

Solar Panels:

This is Section 1. Each section should have about 2-3 paragraphs. You should use 1-2

sources in each section.

Electric Cars:

This is Section 2. Each section should have about 2-3 paragraphs. You should use 1-2

sources in each section.

Reducing Factory Emissions:

This is Section 3. Each section should have about 2-3 paragraphs. You should use 1-2

sources in each section.

Incorporating New Laws:

This is Section 4. Each section should have about 2-3 paragraphs. You should use 1-2

sources in each section.

Using Green Fuels:

This is Section 5. Each section should have about 2-3 paragraphs. You should use 1-2

sources in each section.

Conclusion:

This is where you restate your research question and main points of your research. You

should incorporate the most important aspects of the conclusion, which we studied in the course.

Note: Remember to include a word count at the end of your conclusion that will also include the

number of words in the Primary Research Analysis Section at the end. Your research paper must

be at least 2,000 words with the Primary Research Analysis Section (you do not include the

abstract or the references). (534 words)

Primary Research Analysis

Introduction: (Why did you conduct the survey?)

This survey was conducted in order to find out what people’s opinions are about air

pollution.

Method: (How did you conduct the survey?)

50 people from all around the world were surveyed using SurveyMonkey.com on

November 25, 2015. I received an equal number of male and female responses.

Findings: (What are some of the more interesting numbers that you found in the survey?)

The majority of the people surveyed felt that air pollution was a serious problem to the

environment. Provide 5-10 statements from the survey information that you gathered.

Conclusion: (Discuss overall findings and limitations of the survey you conducted)

The conclusion will give a summary of the information in the surveys and will discuss

problems and limitations.
