OVERVIEW<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The words “documented research paper” have been known to produce severe anxiety among students. Try to relax. A “documented research paper” simply utilizes the skills we’ve been discussing to this point in the course; the only difference is that it adds the use of documented source material to support, illustrate, or explain your ideas. Documented research papers call for introduction paragraphs that lead into presentation of thesis statements, logical sequences of paragraphs, well-developed supporting evidence, smooth conclusions – in other words, all of those skills we’ve been discussing and you’ve been practicing all semester. By citing sources in your essays, you merely show readers that you have investigated your ideas and found support for them, critically examining a variety of perspectives on your topic, and, in the process, bolstering your ethos. In addition, using sources affords your readers the opportunity to study your topic further if they so desire, following your cited references as a guide to additional information. <\/span><\/p>\n

For this assignment, think about a topic\/issue\/challenge\/concern\/problem derived from the assigned course readings and your own research <\/strong>you would like to write about. Although the assigned readings often contain similar points, use your imaginations as to how they might relate to a topic that is something personally important to you. The next step is to identify a specific topic\/issue\/challenge\/concern\/problem within the subject area. If that seems daunting, remember that you\u2019ve already narrowed things considerably \u2014 by selecting certain sources while constructing your research trail.<\/span><\/p>\n
