THIS PAPER IS BASED ON THE 'RESEARCH PROPOSAL' YOU SUBMITTED EARLIER. Your term paper cannot be something 'new' (it should be improved and developed from the Proposal) or different from the Proposal you submitted.
I will provide my research proposal and this term paper should be the same topic and use the same five sources because it is from the course list but add 5 sources more peer reviewed social science journal articles. I will also provided the prof feedback for my research proposal and in the term paper try to avoid the same mistake.
