Research Paper Guidelines: Each student will prepare a 1250-1750 word general research paper on one of the topics listed below. The paper should be typed, double spaced, and in a 12pt font. This paper must be supported by at least 5 legitimate sources, including at least 1 primary source. The paper must also be supported by citations (footnotes) and a bibliography page, and these must conform to the History Department Writing Guide. The paper should make use of a minimum of 4 appropriate sources. The paper is worth 30% of the course grade. The paper is due for submission to Canvas according to the schedule below. See the late policy below.
Improper Citation The History Department Writing Guide prescribes the appropriate method of citation (Turabian style footnotes). Turning in a paper with citations in another format (MLA or APA), will result in the reduction of your grade to a 75, and all subsequent grading will begin from that point.
Unacceptable selection and/or use of sources If you make use of unacceptable sources (Wikipedia, other non-refereed internet sources, etc.) OR you use your sources in an unacceptable manner (paraphrasing, etc) your grade will be immediately reduced to a 69 (a D!), and all subsequent grading will begin from that point.
