Question
RESEARCH PAPER GUIDE
HISTORY 1301-1302
YOUR NAME
Your Research Paper heading should be presented as this paper is set up, the research title, class section and your name, centered on separate single-spaced lines. There is no need for a cover sheet or folder cover for this effort. Unlike this guide your paper should be double spaced between lines. This paper must be typed or word-processed to be accepted. Students will employ fonts no smaller than 8 (elite) or larger than 12 (pica) for the type size of the presentation. This font is 8.
The first paragraph will define the Who, What, When and Where of the assigned subject according to the text book in no less than two or more than four sentences from the text source. I want sharp, clear concise sentences and proper grammar structure. Try to keep the sentence length at less than a maximum of fifteen words. Please refrain from employing endless sentences and incorrect grammar. Employ spell check and grammar check and try to utilize the Writing Center to assist in structure and editing of the effort.
Paragraph two should cite and explain the reason Why of the subject according to the textbook. This is the Control Source In citing sources for this effort. I want the title, author, copyright date and publishing house named. This paragraph should run no more than four sentences of direct material or less.
Paragraph three should present the methods of How the effort or action was undertaken according to the text source. Each of these sentences describing How the effort is undertaken should be like the lead sentence of a new paragraph. If you have ten How’s I want ten sentences. Academic sources have at least three How’s to be acceptable.
Paragraph four should define the Result according to the textbook in three sentences or less.
Paragraph five should employ the same format as paragraph two to cite and describe the Why from a Primary Source. A Primary Source is either a speech, article or section of a subject’s autobiography. I will not accept anything that employs “dictionary or encyclopedia or PBS” in its title. A dot com source is never acceptable. Wikipedia Sources will result in failure for the effort.
Paragraph six needs to define the methods How from the Second Source in the order the author provides. Often the same reasons are given for how a structure or event took place but the order is different and this affects the context of the paper and the result.
Paragraph seven needs to explain the Result as defined from the second source.
Paragraph eight defines the Why from your second Primary Source that present a differing view as third source. Again employ the structure of the second and fifth paragraph to cite this source and define it.
Paragraph nine defines the How of the second source in the order and context presented.
Paragraph ten explains the result according to the third source as structured in paragraphs four and seven.
Paragraph eleven defines your interpretation of the resources. You will either state that according to your research and reflection you found one of the sources to most accurately reflect what you have discovered via critical thought to be the correct interpretation of the subject or that because of your efforts none of the sources met your criteria for correctly defining or explaining the Why, How, and Result of the Subject assigned. This should be accomplished in no more than two sentences.
Paragraph twelve presents either your defense of the selection of your interpretation according to your research. This paragraph has no length requirement because you have to personally structure your defense or new interpretation.
Generally you will find that you cannot meet the requirements of the paper in less than five pages of work and certainly need no more than ten pages to complete the effort. Stay concise and define specific reasons for your selections and define each how in a declarative sentence. Don’t through data at the effort. Provide direct and simple interpretations so that a clear summation is achieved.
Good luck and maintain this goal; if you cannot explain it you cannot employ it. This is a critical thinking effort that requires you make determinations according to your research and what you have determined from the resources you have gathered
