The research paper must be 4-5 pages but no more than 7 pages in length, typed, MLA format. The completed research paper must use and cite a minimum of four separate online sources.
Citations (works cited sources) in the research paper must be current (within seven years).
Avoid using sources that have already done the research for you. These sources include encyclopedias, quotation Websites, Yahoo Answers, Ask.com, About.com, Wikipedia and other Wiki sources, social publications such as People Magazine, Jet Magazine, other social and Give-Me-an-Answer Websites, and Weblogs (blogs). Instead, do some serious research.
In addition to the above source restrictions, do not use other research papers as a source.
At least one direct quotation must be provided from each source; however, do not submit essays or a research paper in which a large part is quoted material. I want your writing based on your research. Short quotations are permissible, but only two long direct quotations (between 5 and 10 lines) are permitted in the research paper.
An in-text citation is required each time that a source is used. If a paragraph includes two of the same sources, only one in-text citation is required for that source.
When you review the model formal essay handout in the Blackboard “Handouts and Course Documents” section, notice that there is one short quote (from research) in the paper. Most of the writing in the paper is done by the student, not quoted from another source.
Similar to the essays, the research paper needs a title on Page 1 directly above the first paragraph, but not a title page or an abstract. The heading, title, and body of the research paper must be formatted in MLA style like all essay assignments. Refer to the model essay for formatting guidance. The research paper must also conform to the English Composition Checklist found in the course “Handouts” section.
Subtitles are not necessary in the research paper.
The citations on the Works Cited page must include the complete URL of the Website researched.
