RESEARCH ESSAY DIRECTIONS

OVERVIEW

Respond to a prompt on page 4 with a clear arsument supported by historical evidence. Draw logical conclusions based on research and analysis. This assignment calls for on orgument obout - not a narrative of - an historical event. This assignment should take around 24 to 32 hours.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

Doublb-spaced Times New Roman L2-pt font.

6 full pages with 1" ma;gins plus a Works Cited page

Basic mastery of grammar, syntax, and style

Developed paragraphs with topic sentence

An introduction must contain context (who, what, where, ond whenl and a thesis statement.

4 scholarly sources, in addition to your textbook, which occur in Works Cited Page and in-text citations.

All claims (not just direct quotations) require MLA in-text citations.

All in-text citations require both authorship and page

number.

A concluding paragraph attempting to answer the question -'so what?'

SOURCES

SCHOLARI"Y SOURCES

To determine if a work is acceptable:

r Does it have both an author and page numbers? r ls it published by afl academic or university press? ! ls it an article by an academic journal? r Does it have a form of citation or a reference? ELECTRONIC SOURCES

TTC provides access to eBooks and journals accessible when logged into your account. Links are located at the bottom of our class' D2L page under "User Links."

UNACCIP-TABL[ SOURCES

The following sources are unacceptable:

. Sources that do not provide both author and page numbers

. Websites (e.g. academic blogs, authorless database articles, university web pages, Wikipedia, etc...).

. Encyclopedias of any kind To understand why you cannot use these types of sources,

see tutorial "Scholarly Sources Explained" in "User Links."

qUOTATIONS & CITATIONS

You must support your assertions with MLA in-text citations and provide a Works Cited page.

DIRECT QUOTATION5 ("QUOTING")

Using word-for-word excerpts requires quotation marks followed by an MLA in-text citation,

. Direct quotations cannot stand alone, lntroduce each quotation into your sentences.

. After a direct quotation, you must provide analysis. Explain the significance of the quotation.

. Do not use quotations that are longer than two lines. A sentence containlng a direct quotation found on page 127 of a book by John Hunter:

John Hunter argues that until Napoleon's failure in Russia, "the Jacobin commander's tactics resulted in victory and high

morale among his troops" (Hunter 127).

tNDTRECT QUOTATTONS ("PARAPHRASING")

Use MLA in-text citations when summarizing or paraphrasing

information from a source. In-text citations are required even when you are not using direct quotations.

A sentence based on information (not a direct quotation) found on page 17 by John Hunter would look like:

Despite his modest background, Napoleon excelled at

leadership, exuding revolutionary fervor (Hunter 17).

GRAMMAR & STYLE

ACTIVE VOICE: Strong formal writing uses active voice, in which the subject of the sentence performs the action:

! Passive: lt was believed that the dead were judged by Osiris.

. Active: Egyptians believed that Osiris judged the dead. FIRST PERSON: Formal writing avoids using first person pronouns ("1" or "me").

VERB TENSE: To avoid confusion, write in the past tense when referring to past events, people, and societies. For example:

Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to a church door

in Wittenberg (Robinson 234).

The exception to this rule is when referring to an author's assertions in the context of their writings. For example:

ln his magnum opus, Ihe Theory of Morol Sentiment,

eighteenth-century economist Adam Smith argues that

capita lism romotes social stability" Smith 76-8)

PLAIGIARISM

To avoid failins this assisnment. do not co py any portion of your essay from a book, eBook, journal article, website, or

other source without enclosing that copied section in quotation marks followed by an in-text citation. UsinB a previously written essay is plagiarism. Changing a few words

of a passage does not make it your own.

See tutorial "How tb Prevent Plagiarism" in "User Links." Students cannot earn a grade for this work unless they upload their essay to D2L "Assignments," at which time Turnitin o software checks the work for plagiarism.
