Research Essay Assignment

CHOOSE A TOPIC

Topic Submission: Students are to write a three to six page research essay. Students will choose a European or Middle Eastern individual born prior to 1600 to research. As specified in the syllabus the topic must be submitted and approved by the instructor before students may begin their research. This is the first part of the research assignment and therefore has its own assignment located within the Research Assignment Module.

Annotated Bibliography: All students are required to submit an annotated bibliography in addition to the research paper. This is the second part of the research assignment and has its own assignment within the Research Assignment Module. Students are to use their textbook as well as at least three other sources. Only one source from the internet may be used, all other sources must be either books, academic journals, or periodicals. Students may not use Wikipedia or other online encyclopedias as sources. If you are unsure of a source make sure to check with the instructor. All sources must be cited properly on the Bibliography page of the essay.
