This final research paper should be at least 1800 words (including Title page, Abstract, and Reference Page). Those three alone are 50% of your paper. This means you only need three full pages of your analysis of the research you conducted.
The important and good thing about this research paper is that you are able to work on it during the entire semester. (Please see Module Prioritizing and Conducting Research). There will be absolutely no excuse for not completing this valuable (200 points) Final Assignment.
Please take this time to review your paper before submitting.
I look forward to reading your papers!
