Your paper needs to be in APA style. Please see the librarian about APA style papers and
examples.
At a minimum you should have a title page, a running head, several in-text citations and a
reference page.
Your book should only be cited twice in your paper.
You will need at least two scholarly or peer reviewed articles.
The rest of your sources in your paper can be from magazines, newspaper articles, books etc.
Wikipedia and online dictionaries are not scholarly sources.
Normally APA style papers do not use the first person “I” or “we.” However, in this very narrow
instance, as the goal is to have this paper be reflective, we will permit first person reflective
writing.
Still you must observe the mechanics of APA writing. Citing your sources, no plagiarism, using
at least two scholarly sources.

INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE OF THE CAYMAN ISLANDS: TEST POLICY
1. When students arrive for an in class exam all materials not to be used in their exam must be left
at the front of the room. If the exam is closed book the only materials the student should have at
their desk are their pen, blank paper and calculator, if calculators are permitted. Instructors
should review all blank papers to insure no impermissible items are present. Students are
encouraged not to bring personal items to the room on test days.
2. If students are permitted to use their text book or other items on the exam they must check with
the instructor first so the instructor can confirm they do not have any impermissible items in their
text.
3. All cell phones, blackberries or other communication items must be turned off and stored in their
belongings at the front of the room. Students may not use their cell phone, blackberry or
other communication device as a calculator. Students are encouraged not to bring their cell
phones, blackberries etc. to class on exam days.
4. Students are not permitted to speak to each other or communicate in any way whether verbally or
in writing once the exam is passed out and any communication during the exam will be
considered as inappropriate.
5. Students may not share textbooks (if exam is open book) or notes (if notes are permitted for use)
during an exam or share calculators if they are permitted.
6. It takes two to cheat and anyone who is caught taking answers or giving answers is equally
guilty. In addition, anyone who witnesses cheating and does not report it is guilty of cheating.
Any student caught cheating on an exam will be given a zero for that exam. If a second instance
occurs then the student will fail the course. All allegations of cheating will be reviewed by the
Office of the Director of Academic Affairs.
