TERM PAPER: There will be a writing assignment (Term/Research Paper) for thisclass.A list of possible term paper subjects will be passed out during the 1st class meeting.Students will pick their tentative topic during the 3rd week’s meetings. (See p 7) Have more than one possible topic as each student will write on a different topic.Double spaced with standard margins, in normal (10 or 12) font size, and four (4) to six (6) pages long.Factual material will be duly cited/credited on every page. Example: At the battle of Smithville, three hundred English knights lost their lives. (Jones 23) – Jones is the author of the book and this information is found on page 23.Each term paper will have at least three (3) sources including: at least one book (our textbooks or encyclopedias do not count) and at least one JSTOR article. These sources, besides being cited within the paper for quotes and factual material, will be listed alphabetically in MLA format on a separate Works Cited page.During the 2nd week, we will visit the Library for a one hour tutorial on how to check out/request books and how to use JSTOR and other databases. (I encourage you to ask for help in the Library before and after this tutorial.)Electronic versions of the paper will not be accepted. The term paper must be printed on real PAPER. In addition, all term papers must be typed (double spaced) and stapled or in a secure cover. If not, they will not be accepted
