Homework: Research Paper

Description:

Research is synthesis and discovery. It creates opinions and shapes views. Your goal in this paper is to solve a problem using the findings of other research projects. This means finding articles from the databases (especially the Opposing Viewpoints database) to support your solutions to an existing problem. You can also use sources outside of the databases, but they must be reliable and accurate. It is paramount that you choose a topic that will sustain your interest and that you feel confident in exploring. Look for problems and issues related to your field of study as a starting point.

Writing Process:

1. Get approval from me for your chosen topic. This will require a written research proposal justifying your research into the topic.

2. Construct a meaningful research question that will guide you in the use of sources.

3. Develop a working thesis that answers your research question.

4. Construct a well-thought out outline that begins with a thesis statement, shows a topic sentence for each paragraph and where your sources will be used.

5. Compose a well-supported, MLA formatted essay that conforms to the specific requirements listed below.

Requirements:

1. The essay smartly uses the three appeals (ethos, pathos, logos).
2. An explicit thesis statement is present in the introduction.
3. In-text citations are used effectively for direct quotes and paraphrases.
4. The essay's target audience is clear based on your position on the topic.
