Specifications: Research Paper Requirements
Students must use 10 credible sources for their final project, not necessarily 10 scholarly sources, but students should be asked to incorporate at least 7 scholarly sources. Students are responsible for adequately supporting their argument with the sources most appropriate to that task.
The paper must be at least ten-twelve pages long using standard MLA or APA formatting. Your work cited page/s is not included in the 10-12 pages.
Students should work with theoretical sources and case studies to develop a valid response to their own research question. They should also be encouraged to work with counter evidence and/or counterarguments.
Only final papers that synthesize sources using framing concepts and engage with counterarguments or counter evidence should receive an A. At least one of the sources must offer a counterargument.
Suggested Development:
Begin with an Introduction, which should:
Include a statement of your Research Question
Mention the Theoretical Framework/s that you will use
Explain the nature and significance of your topic
End with your hypothesis
In the Body of the paper you should:
Define key terms and concept
Define the argument within which your research is intervening
Use case and theoretical materials together
Support claims with evidence
Use well-written paragraphs that open with a topic sentence and are narrowly focused on a single issue
Put your authors in conversation with each other—most of your paragraphs should reference at least two authors
Write a comprehensive conclusion where you tie all your arguments together.
End with a Works Cited page, written in MLA, APA, or Chicago format, on a separate additional page.
