Choosing a topic

When choosing a topic for this essay, ask yourself, "Does it make sense to compare/contrast these two subjects? What might I accomplish through this comparison?"

Here are some examples:

• Joseph is considering comparing correspondence courses with online courses. He knows they are both methods of distance learning, but he is not sure what distinguishes them. By researching and writing this essay, he will learn - and explain to readers - what correspondence courses and online courses have in common and how they are different. This is a good topic.
• Sharisse is considering comparing cash accounting and accrual accounting. She knows both are ways to track transactions, but the essay will help her - and her readers - understand their differences and when it might be appropriate to use one or the other. This is a good topic.
• At the end of these instructions is a list of possible topics to get you started.

After you have selected your two subjects of comparison, you will need to identify at least three points of comparison/contrast. These are the dimensions that you will use to compare/contrast your two subjects. Here are some possible points of comparison for the example topics given above:

• In comparing and contrasting correspondence courses and online courses, one might examine (1) the media and technology used to deliver course material, (2) students' interaction with the teacher, and (3) students' interaction with other students.
• In comparing and contrasting cash accounting and accrual accounting, one might look at (1) when transactions are recorded in each method, (2) the tax implications of each method, and (3) in what contexts each method is most commonly used.
• Organizing and supporting your essay
• Organize your essay into several paragraphs, including the following:
• an introductory paragraph with a thesis statement
• body paragraphs that support the thesis statement

o The body paragraphs must be supported by referring to the two (or more) sources on your reference list. Quote and/or paraphrase your sources, and include citations, as taught in class.

• a concluding paragraph

Support your ideas with at least two sources. Include in-text citations whenever you use your sources, whether through quote, paraphrase, or summary. A reference list at the end of the paper should list all of the sources cited in the text of the paper.

Point of view

We are now moving into writing in a more formal academic style. Use third-person point of view. Do not use "I" or "you."

Use APA style to format your essay, including the following guidelines:

• Use one-inch margins.
• Double space.
• Use size 12 Times New Roman font.
• Include a running head.
• Include page numbers.
• Include a title page.
• Use in-text citations in APA format.
• Include a reference list with all sources listed in APA format.
• Note: An abstract is not required.
