There is a 6 page requirement for this research paper. Instructions and Guidance This is a take-home assignment, so I am expecting a real essay, with an introduction, thesis statement, paragraphs, a conclusion, sources etc. Don’t assume that “an answer” will be easily found in one section of one book. This research paper requires careful reading, analytical thinking, and integration of textbook, lecture, and supplemental materials. You must have at least THREE outside sources. Wikipedia, or any encyclopedia for that matter, does not count as a source. Books, academic journal articles, and the course textbook do count (but the textbook does not count as an “outside” source). Be concrete: evidence is always more convincing than generalization or simple logic. In fact, it is the entire point of the assignment. It is your task to use evidence to generate an answer to a real historical question. Do not summarize the reading materials. Instead, describe or quote the evidence you need to answer the question, with proper citations so your reader can find your source. Do not waste time by repeating easy-to-find and irrelevant material. Citations and Plagiarism Failure to acknowledge the source of your ideas or information is unacceptable. Plagiarism will result in failing the assignment. Poor paraphrasing and poor citation will be penalized. These questions can be answered more than adequately with reference to assigned readings and lectures; however, you are required to do more research and include outside sources. Remember, you must be sure that your outside sources are relevant and of sufficient quality to enhance your argument. A Bibliography page is required. You must cite the source of information and ideas that are outside of “general knowledge,” including information from your course textbook. For citation and bibliography rules, all students are required to use the Chicago Manual of Style. Technical Details Paper must be 6 pages, not counting cover page or bibliography. Your paper will have a cover page and bibliography. Your paper should be in Times New Roman, be twelve-point font, be double-spaced, and have one-inch margins.
