Begin your paper here. Provide introduction here. Introduce the topic that will be
discussed. Use any subheadings you feel necessary for clarity and ease of reading.
Always write in the third person. Do not use “I”, “You”, etc. in formal writing
assignments. Any time you use any information that you learned from another source, you
should always use an in-text citation to give credit to the original author(s) (Last Name, Year).
Do not quote, paraphrase (Last Name & Last Name, Year, p. #). If you are citing a source with
multiple authors, make certain to use the correct format (Last Name of first author et al., Year)

“study summary” is the assigned article being summarized. For this class, use headings where
you feel they will help with clarity and organization within your paper.

(Capital Letters for Each Word). For this paper you could use the title, “Effective Thinking” for

textbook. Compare and contrast this skill with nonconscious thinking discussed in the assigned
article.

textbook. Compare and contrast this skill with nonconscious thinking discussed in the assigned
article.
Discuss how both nonconscious and critical thinking work together to inform effective
thinking.
Conclusion
Provide a clear conclusion that incorporates major themes and findings from your
analyses. Please recall that a novel source should not be cited within a conclusion section as a
conclusion section of a paper of this nature wraps up content that has already been addressed
within the body of the paper. Remember to omit all comments within this document prior to
turning in this document if you elect to use this template to structure your assignment.
Remember to stay in the third person throughout your writing of this assignment.
