Midterm Project Assignment

 Select a term or concept that is frequently used in the literature in the field of cross-
cultural education/counseling. Conduct an exhaustive literature search of the definition
and use of the term.

 Students have the freedom to format the definition in a style that best suits their
background, expertise, and interests however they must provide information that
answers the following questions:

1. Where did the term come from?
2. What are the alternative definitions?
3. What is the preferred definition and why?
4. What one or two primary sources can one go to find out more about the term?

 The meaning of some terms changes over time so you may want to consider providing a
short historical perspective in writing the definition.

 Definitions should be typed, doubled space throughout. Your assignment should be
limited to about 2 pages (maximum of 350 – 400 words). The cover page and the
reference page are not included in the 2-page minimum.

 The paper must be submitted in Microsoft Word; Times New Roman font; 12 pt.
font size; margins 1” on all sides; double-spaced. The assignment should be written
on a graduate level and references used should be cited within the discussion and
documented in a reference list using APA styling.

 Post your paper, as a single document, to the grade book.

 Send your instructor an email when you are ready for your assignment to be graded.

APA Format Guides

The instructor has provided links to resources that provide assistance on APA format issues. Be
sure to review these links and do not hesitate to ask for assistance if you are not sure about
something. Ask yourself the questions below before you submit a paper. This list by no means
addresses every possible mistake that could be made, but it will bring common mistakes to your
attention.

 Is your paper double spaced?
 Are necessary abbreviations explained?

 Are references cited in-text present on your reference list? Remember that the website itself
is a source.

Page 4 of 4

 Did you include in-text citations for all the resources you used? Only references used to
support your writing should be on your reference list.

 Numbers ten and below should be spelled out.

 Are quotes referenced correctly in-text? Quotes should be used sparingly. There should be
no more than one quote in a three-page paper.

 Are your sources presented properly on your reference list? Pay close attention to indention
rules and capitalization rules.

 Is your title page presented according to APA format?

 Is there a page break inserted for the reference page?

 Did you include an appropriate running heading for your paper?

 Did you proof your paper and have another person proof your paper before submitting the
paper?

Writing assignments are taken quite seriously. Graduate students are
expected to write clearly and concisely, and the order of your thoughts should

be logical. Know that each paper is read with these things in mind. If your
writing is wordy or if you use awkward phrasing it will impact the format, style

and grammar portion of your grade.
