You will need to use a minimum of 2 books and 3 journals in completion of the research paper. One of the books used can be your textbook.

The research paper must address a component of how drug abuse affects society. You may use the following suggestions:

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Developmental Problems in Children

Drug Addiction and Incarceration

Teenage Drug Addiction and Delinquency

Alcoholism and Motor Vehicle Accidents

Comparison and Contrast of Drug Prevention Efforts

The Cost of Drug Treatment for Society

If you include statistics in your paper, this should be provided at the end of your paper, and will not count toward the total 3 pages.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
