Gangs

The final paper is your partial demonstration of completion of course objectives. Each objective can serve as a section of your paper. However, if you desire, you may select another format but each objective should be clearly addressed in your final synthesis paper.

(excluding title page, abstract, and references) in length, double-spaced, and in APA format. Length is not as important as the quality, however, you cannot address the issues in the depth required in less than two pages per objective, after editing. Remember it is a synthesis and as such should make minimal use of adjectives and adverbs.
