   • Analysis
     • Headings - Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 (i.e., Part 1: Identify the Questions) – headings are shown in the Lab.

Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length, not including required cover and references pages or Excel files, and conform to the guidelines found in the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Include at least two scholarly references in addition to the course textbook. The CSU Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a good place to find these references.
