Rather, the paper should have an introduction, body, and then summary/conclusion. The questions are there to guide you in writing the paper. In addition, the paper must reference three other sources as evidence for your conclusions. I am not looking for a dissertation, but I am looking for a well thought out paper that follows the rubric set forth in the syllabus and shown below. Your paper should be between 500-800 words.
