STRUCTURING YOUR PAPER
A few words about structuring your paper: A good paper is one that is built around a clear structure, so you should outline the main points of your paper before you start writing. It’s easier to overhaul your outline than it is to overhaul a fully written paper, so spend some time thinking about the structure of your paper before you launch into the writing. Your paper should have:
A clear introduction
A body (in which you flesh out your analysis of rhetoric, audience, artifact, and
context)
A conclusion (in which you summarize your argument and findings and “open” the paper to consideration of broader themes).
WRITING YOUR PAPER
A few words about WRITING your paper:
I require an “introductory paragraph.” It must introduce the topic, state the main argument of the paper, set forth the plan by which the paper unfolds, and state the paper’s conclusion. In brief, after having read the first paragraph, your reader should know precisely what the paper is about, its main claims, how it unfolds, and where it will end up.
Write the paper in coherent paragraphs. Each paragraph should flow naturally and logically from the previous paragraph, and on to the next paragraph, following a clear train of analysis.
Good writing is clear writing. Write in simple, declarative sentences. Use the active voice.
Feel free to quote from books, articles or experts, but do not waste space with very lengthy quotations – briefly paraphrase these passages instead.
A few words about acknowledging and citing sources:
Every time you use somebody else’s ideas or words, you must acknowledge the
source of the information (unless the information is common knowledge).
You may acknowledge these sources by using footnotes, endnotes, or in-text notes.
Don’t get hung up on details of citation style: what really matters is (1) that you cite your sources in such a way that readers can identify your sources and check your facts, and (2) that you use the same citation style throughout the paper. (When citing Internet sources that do not have printed equivalents, identify the author, document title, Internet address, and the date that you retrieved the document.)
Append a bibliography at the end of the paper, and include all the sources in APA style that you used in writing the paper.
Review the student handbook for plagiarism statement and requirements.
SUBMITTING YOUR PAPER
When you have completed your paper, re-read it for clarity, grammar, spelling and
A few words about submitting your paper:
Your paper must be typed in Word Document in double-space in a normal font (e.g., 12-point Times New Roman), number the pages, put your name and student number on the title page. Your research paper should have a title other than
“ Research Paper”.
