Term Paper Part 1: Research

Here's a link to your first term paper assignment: Term Paper Part 1

Contact me right away with any questions, and don't forget to spend at least one hour researching outside of class for every hour we work on the project in class (that means you'll spend at least 4.5 hours of homework time on initial research).

Ask the librarians for help! They can suggest databases or other sources where you're likely to find helpful information; alternative key words to try in your searches; specialized encyclopedias that will give you a beginning and introduce concepts to follow up with; or books that will give you a good foundation (the bibliography in a good book on your subject is a great way to find further sources).

If you're having trouble finding helpful information, don't give up! Get in touch with me for help right away.
