Other important reminders:

1. The entire review must be double-spaced, using Times New Roman style size 12. The use of
good quality recycled paper is encouraged. Pages need not be numbered so a table of contents is
not necessary.
2. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO CITE YOUR SOURCES. A list of your references must be
added after the synthesis. Please follow the APA style of citation and reference listing.
3. A separate template for the title page is provided on the next page.
4. You are discouraged from ring-binding the review as this is an unnecessary waste of money
