This paper should not only reflect thorough historical and philosophical research on a topic that interests you from those that have arisen this semester. Your analysis should be nuanced, drawing on primary texts and scholarly secondary sources, and should articulate a clear argument. This paper is an opportunity to synthesize and reflect upon what you’ve learned in this course and in your time at SELU more broadly.
Length: The paper should be 12 pages.
Topic selection: You can choose from topics discussed in the course, very broadly understood: you need not write specifically on the specific course topics. You can certainly revisit ideas and topics that have interested you in other papers you’ve done at SELU but you must not hand in writing that you’ve handed in for other courses for credit.
Topic presentation: You will present your topic for feedback from the class near the end of the semester. You can sign up for one of those in the “Discussion” section added on Canvas in the last Module.
Research: Utilize primary sources (original texts/works discussed in class) and secondary sources (scholarly articles, books, essays linked in the course or others).
Structure: Include an introduction with a thesis statement, a body with sections for specific points, and a conclusion. The paper must be at least 12 pages, double-spaced, in Times New Roman, 12-pt. font (excluding title or bibliography pages).
Citation: Any consistent citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.) is acceptable. Proper citations are required both in-text and/or in a bibliography or works cited page, depending on the citation style you use.
Submission: Papers must be submitted through the Canvas course page. Due May 6, 11:59 a.m.
