Overview
This week you are beginning the research project which you will continue next week. You will start the prep work for it this week by picking a topic, conducting preliminary research, and submitting an annotated bibliography and outline. Next week, you will write the final research paper for the course on the topic that you started with this week.
The research paper will be worth 125 points. It is by far the biggest grade of any of the assignments you complete this semester. It is important for you to put some time and effort into the completion of the prep work this week to make your research paper the following week as effective as possible.
Please watch the presentation for more information. There are links to resources and templates for both the bibliography and outline in the presentation.
