Thursday, April 13 Research Paper due
Now that you have completed a good deal of research and discovered what others have to say about your topic, you are ready to contribute to the scholarly conversation in the form of a research paper. Your paper should make an original argument that answers a specific question, solves a specific problem, or reframes a debate in your academic discipline. The statement of the answer, solution, or reframing will be your thesis. Your audience is other scholars in your discipline.
The paper should develop your ideas in an organized manner that follows the conventions for a scholarly article in your academic discipline. You should put your argument in the context of the research that has been done on the topic and support your points with evidence that is appropriate to the field. Your paper should fairly represent and effectively address opposing viewpoints.
The paper should document sources and include a bibliography in APA, MLA, or Chicago format, whichever is most appropriate for your field.
While your perspective on your topic may change as you research and write, your paper topic must match the topic of the annotated bibliography you submitted for the previous paper assignment.
You must use a minimum of seven secondary sources in your paper. The quality of the sources affects the quality of your argument.
Friendly advice: Remember that your goal is to produce a paper with an original argument, not to repeat an argument previously made by others. The argument need not be ground-breaking or huge, but it should be original to you—you should be adding a new perspective to an ongoing conversation in your field. You may suggest a new way to look at part of the problem being discussed or point out an idea that has been overlooked.
Also, keep in mind that when you start drafting your paper, you may use a question about your topic or a statement of the problem you’re addressing as your working thesis. When you’re ready, you will replace that question or problem statement with your argument. But you may not know your specific argument when you begin writing.
Finally, when incorporating sources to develop and support your points, remember to always tie quotations and paraphrases to your ideas. Don’t just report what others have said; show how their ideas relate to your own ideas and the ideas of others.
