The research paper should be approximately 6-18 pages long and utilize 5-7 academic sources on some issues involving topics related to the course. You will be graded on clarity, style, and the use of appropriate evidence to defend a clearly articulated argument.
Purely narrative papers- which tell a story rather than analyze an issue- will receive poor grades. Papers must adhere to the required length, format, and citation style (e.g., Chicago, MLA, or APA).
