Research Paper Assignment

Example: Bullying
Limit the scope of your paper to create a focused, coherent thesis.

Your paper should be around 1250 words, not shorter than 1000 words, and not longer than 1500 words.

You must reference at least three different sources over the course of your paper, and successfully integrate these sources into your paper either by direct quotes or paraphrase.

One of these sources must be scholarly (peer-reviewed). Proper APA citation format is required, and please keep in mind that only properly documented sources will count toward the required total of sources.

Introduction successfully hooks reader’s interest.
-Thesis is clearly stated, clear position taken, main points clearly outlined.

Main points are distinct and tied to paragraph development.
-Main points are specific. General statements are avoided where possible.
-Main points are relevant, contain claims that will prove the thesis.
– Main points contain evidence that is diverse, specific, and sufficient to prove the claim being made.

Conclusion gives concise, adequate summary of paper, leaves reader with something to think about without adding new information
