Your research paper is based on you doing a lot of reading about your subject, taking notes, and organizing the information. The research paper should be about ten pages long: 1 page for the introduction, 1 page for the conclusion, 2 pages each for the body points, and 1 page for the Works Cited. If that does not add up to 10, it means we took different math classes.
The subject for this research paper is some facet of language.
You must use the Santa Monica College Databases for the majority of your paper. You may use one or two sources from Google Advanced Search or Google Scholar.
