While you will have some creative freedom in what you choose to write about, a significant portion of your course grade is an 1800 word (approximately 6 double-spaced pages) research paper. It must directly relate to course concepts. Your paper must include an introduction, conclusion, minimum of three in-text citations, a bibliography, a thesis statement, and evidence that advances your argument throughout the paper. You are welcome to use non-academic sources to supplement the three minimum scholarly sources. Final papers are due by 11:59pm, Friday, June 5. Late papers will not be accepted.
