INSTRUCTIONS:
Grading is based on the following:
-How well you apply and explain Cases we read and discussed throughout the semester to your topic
-Properly noted research that directly applies to your topic
-This is a Final Research Paper. You are given two weeks to complete. I expect at the least 3 pages.
-For each topic you must use/apply cases we have discussed and read in class in order to adequately address the topic.
Note: For an A paper I suggest the following:
-Start this paper early enough to think about a thesis regarding the topic you chose.
-After developing a thesis (i.e.) an idea about the topic you chose go over the cases we have read and discussed and do a little bit of research over the period of time allotted so you can read it and re-write it if needed.
-I do not want just a regurgitation of research. I want you to develop an idea about the topic you chose and find research to support it.
-You should go back and use your notes, the class notes, etc. to review how everything we have covered applies to the topic you chose.
