RESEARCH PAPER
One research paper is required for this course. The Research Paper is worth a total of 30% of your grade and is due on the assigned date found on your syllabus!
The research paper is of your choice as long as it covers the period that is being cover in the course. The research paper will be 10 pages in length, double spaced, using 12 point font, on plain white paper (disregard the plain white paper if this is a on-line course requirement) submit as a Microsoft word attachment. This should be similar to any paper you would write for other classes including a title page, an introduction, body of text, a conclusion, and references/bibliography. APA or MLA format is acceptable.
Proper Citation of Sources.
Students should Include a primary source and a secondary or multiple
primary which support your thesis. For instance , Otto von Bismarck’s contribution to the development of Socialism’s in Germany, the how and examples of ? I encourage my students to use AI to supplement/enhance the research paper but it should not exceed more than 25 percent of the paper and fully documented ( which means you need to cite the sources). either in a MLA or APA format. When writing papers which use information from researched sources, it is necessary to provide complete and correct documentation to show the source of all words and ideas which are not those of the student. Failure to cite a source implies that the information used is the original work of the paper writer a form of stealing known as “plagiarism.” In the college class, plagiarism is grounds for failure, no matter how well written the rest of the paper may be.
. Make sure you proofread! Nothing detracts from a paper (or grade) worse than a poorly written, mistake-filled paper.
The research paper can be a person, event or a set of peoples as long as it cover the period from the start of the text book to present…. no major wars … only something specific about the conflict is acceptable… such as, The General Braddock Campaign of 1755, The Doolittle’s Raid in 1942 over Tokyo ….. example of a person , U.S. Grant , Stonewall Jackson , General MacArthur , Otto von Bismarck and how he introduced socialism in Germany? example of an event or set of peoples , The Gettysburg Campaign, The Buffalo Soldiers , The Armenian Genocide .The Argonne Offensive 1918 ……another example of event an alternative is a compare and contrast paper, such as .
