Instructions
Each of you will be expected to choose one of the assigned essay topics and write a research report on that topic. When marking, I will be looking for a well-thought out argument and evidence of research. The report should be written in the standard format of introduction, body and conclusion.
- Introduction: The introduction of your report should explain the topic you are writing about, your position on the topic and briefly introduce the three points you will use to support your position in the body of the report.
- Body: The body of your report will explain each of your three points in detail, using external sources to support each of them.
- Conclusion: The conclusion of your report will summarise your main points and leave me with a clear understanding of your position on the topic you've chosen to write about.
Length
The report should be about 1000 words.
Style and Grammar
While the style and grammar of your report will be taken into account when marking, the quality of your argument will be my main interest.
Bibliography
You must cite a minimum of 3 external sources and cite them using the APA style. Your sources should be reputable. Books are always safe. When using information from a website, use your own judgement to decide if it is acceptable. Professional websites like newspapers, newsmagazines or encyclopaedias are good examples.
*Review the attached guide entitled "Avoiding Plagiarism".
*Review the website for clarity about plagiarism and how to avoid it. I have a ZERO tolerance policy. Evidence of significant plagiarism will result in a grade of 0/21 on the research report component of your final mark.
*The course readings can be used as a source, but you must also use three external sources.
