Between 10-18 Double Spaced - Send handshakes I will choose. And we will discuss price.

Students may add up to 7 percentage points to their overall grade by writing a paper on a topic approved by the instructor.  The Course Reader contains a list of reading suggestions for paper topics.  You are not limited to these topics.  The paper must address a well-defined question and must make use of reasoning related to course material.   To write a paper, you must hand in a sheet of paper describing the topic and listing at least a couple of sources.  The topic sheet is due by November 28 and the paper itself is due by December 7.  Earlier submissions are welcome, and they will increase the opportunity for my comments on your paper.  The paper should be about 10 double-spaced pages and must be no longer than 18 pages.  The paper should contain a list of sources at the end.  The body of the paper should contain specific references to these sources.

Note: The paper will not be accepted unless I have previously approved the topic sheet. I want to make sure the paper relates to the material in the course.  I expect you to refer to the course readings relevant to your topic.  The paper will be submitted through Turnitin, a program on Blackboard that checks for plagiarism.
