Students must complete one long research paper of approximately 6-8 pages length and utilizing 3-5 academicsources on some issue involving topics related to the course. In the term paper, students will be graded on clarity, style, and the use of appropriate evidence to defend a clearly-articulated argument. Purely narrative papers- whichtell a story rather than analyzing an issue- will receive poor grades.
