research paper

10/31: Bibliography:  Please turn in a prospective bibliography for the project with six different sources.  This does not have to be a final bibliography. At least two of these must be scholarly/academic books.  At least one of these must be a scholarly/academic article.  Any internet resources need to be pre-approved by me.  Primary sources, for those of you using them, should be clearly identified and listed separately from secondary sources.  All bibliographic information should be in Chicago Style.  Please turn in a paper copy of the bibliography in class 

11/13: Thesis Statement and Outline: Please turn in a brief (1-3 sentence) thesis statement or summary of the argument of your paper.  In addition, please include an outline of the rest of the paper.  This does not need to be too complex, but it should show how you are thinking about your topic and how you intend to lay out the paper.  Hard copy, in class on 11/15

12/1: Deadline for drafts:  If you want me to review a draft of your paper, I need it by this date.  Emailed submission of drafts is acceptable.  This is not a requirement, but I recommend it!

12/7: Due date:  Papers are due on the last day of classes.  Please bring a stapled paper copy, which can be left in my mailbox in the history department.
