Research Paper

 Instructions:

The topic for your research paper must be argumentative; feel free to contact me for feedback, if you are unsure. You may not write about a topic covered in another essay for this course.  The paper must be an argument, as presented in this course. It must have a clearly-stated major proposition, support of the major proposition, and a refutation.  CQ Researcher, a database available to you via the College's Library, is an excellent resource for both topics and articles! 

(I have the information to log on to the database for MY school website)

The research paper should consist of the following:

                      MLA FORMAT

                  on gun control issues

a. a brief (see course outline for examples)        http://faculty.camdencc.edu/aspatola/eng102/structure.htm  

b. the text of the research paper (5 pages of text – NOTE:  text does NOT include brief or Works Cited!)

c. a Works Cited page (minimum of 5 sources, two of which must NOT be generic internet sites.)  For up-to-date citation information use:  http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/index.html
