Assignment Content
Using the research question you posed for the assignment in Weeks 13-14, conduct research and write a paper that makes an argument which answers that question. You must use a minimum of FOUR SCHOLARLY SOURCES from a library database. (See the provided lecture video for details on finding these types of sources.)
Paper requirements:
MLA format — Strict adherence to MLA format is required. Expectations will be higher for this one since it is your final paper. Please follow MLA format carefully.
Sources — Again, you must use a minimum of four scholarly sources from a library database. You should strive to use peer reviewed scholarly journal articles. You may use other sources, but they must be credible. (See chapter 12 for a discussion of types of sources and credibility.) No matter what, though, you must meet the four scholarly source requirement.
Font — Use a 12-point sans serif font that is professional. Times New Roman, Arial, and Calibri are examples of acceptable fonts.
Length — Again, quality trumps quantity, but about 5 pages is the recommended/suggested length. The length may exceed this.
Content — Your argument should be based on a quality research question. You must use a new paper, however; you may not resubmit previous papers with added research to satisfy this assignment. Strive to explore all sides of any question you are trying to answer. A clear thesis statement in your introduction is a must.
