(*) FOR
ALL PAPERS, make sure you

if you do not!) Multiple examples are expected. You may add more
subsections if you feel the need.
GRAPHICS
Graphics must be supplied that support all aspects of
this paper (i.e., in every
section/subsection listed above). 20%
of the assessment grade will depend on your graphics.
Photographs,
complex drawings or maps may be scanned or obtained from the
internet.
If you are scanning images, make sure that you realize that 300 dpi
images
may be pretty, but they will take enormous resources for storage and
time
to print. DO NOT SCAN images in color unless you plan to print them in
color. Do not create graphics that contain extensive text using a
paint program because the text will print fuzzy. If you use
graphics from the internet, please try to sort by size in Google, etc
and pick the largest images, because they will print sharper. You
should really try to create your own images as much as possible.
RESOURCES
Multiple
RESOURCES must be used. The use of one comprehensive review article is
not acceptable. The use of the internet is assumed. To start your
research, try Google or Wikipedia as a starting place.
Make sure to record your
references,
include URLs. (See referencing instructions below.)
SIZE
This
paper should be no larger that SEVEN pages using A&P
formatting rules. References should be on a separate sheet. No
other material may be included on the reference page. Graphics may be
placed
on one additional, separate sheet. No text may be placed on this
page other than Figure legends. Any greater need for graphics must
consume
part of the original seven page maximum for text.
WARNING: Any paper submitted with
a total of more than NINE pages including graphics
and references, will be penalized 10% PER PAGE. This is known as
the Heather Rule.
