Instructions for the Final Research Paper

Your research paper should reflect the substantial efforts you have directed toward researching and analyzing your subject. It will be evaluated on the basis of the conceptualization of your topic, the clarity of your argument, technical organization and execution, and the depth of your analysis.

Your work will result in a 9-12 page paper, with a complete bibliography (bibliography is not included in the page number total). The paper should be written in Times New Roman, 12pt font size, double-spaced, with 1” margins all around (Word default 1.25” on left and right margins is acceptable). A title page is not necessary, but the paper should have a title. Papers may be submitted to Canvas (see the Assignments tab) until Wednesday, June 13 at 11:59 PM.

If you are familiar with APA, MLA, or Chicago format you may use any one of them. I only ask that you remain consistent throughout the paper. If you are not familiar with any of these formats, you may cite sources within your paper parenthetical notation (e.g.- Rosenberg, 2007, p.128). The following citations would be an acceptable guide for your bibliography entries:
