LGBT bullying research paper
Research papers are a major genre of writing in American higher education. The process of finding, reading, synthesizing, and responding to sources greatly increases your critical thinking skills and provides a platform for in-depth learning. For your research paper, you must use multiple sources to support a claim about an issue you care about. You also have to support your position with evidence from your sources. To do this effectively, you must interpret, analyze, and critique your sources. Remember to: go beyond standard positions, treat the author fairly, address the implications of your argument, and respond to an opposing view. An example will be distributed in class. Additionally, pages 74-76 in A Writer’s Reference include a sample research paper for your reference.
Objective: The goal of this assignment is for you to show that you can effectively argue your own position using multiple academic sources while meeting the standards for an academic research paper.
Length: Your paper must be at least 2400 words, but no longer than 3000 words, not including the Works Cited Page. (A page of 12-sized typed text that is double-spaced is usually about 300 words.)
Format: Your paper should be double-spaced with 1-inch margins and no extra spaces between paragraphs. Use a 12-sized font (Times New Roman is recommended). Papers for this class must be formatted in MLA style which means each paper should include your name, the instructor’s name, ENG 102, and the date in upper left corner of the first page. Each subsequent page should also include your last name and the page number in the upper right hand corner. See section 60 in Rules for Writers for an example of a paper formatted in MLA style.
Sources: A minimum of 6 scholarly sources are required for this paper, three of which must be peer-reviewed academic articles that you can find through the library databases. Additionally, you must include one primary source (an interview, diary entry, speech, letter, etc.) and/or data you collected yourself (survey results, for example). You must include MLA style in-text citations and an MLA-style Works Cited page. Choose the quotes you use carefully and don’t make them longer than necessary. (In a paper of this length, use no more than four block quotes.) See “Documenting Sources” in A Writer’s Reference (beginning on page 370). Also see page 412 for an example of a list of sources in MLA style. As always, any sources used must be introduced and properly credited with citations.
