 *IF YOUR NAME DOES NOT APPEAR HERE, YOU MUST PRESENT ON TUESDAY, 11/22; OTHERWISE, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN "F."  

Final Paper: Instructions & Deadlines

You may choose a thesis statement from the list I supplied, or you may write another version of one of these statements, or you may write a statement on your own.  Hyperlinks to sources are included within each of the statements listed, but you must also incorporate at least one additional source either from a library database or from a trustworthy site on the Internet.  You must look further than Wikipedia to locate a reliable source, and you must supply working hyperlinks to every source that you use.

Even if you have already sent me a partial thesis statement, you must e-mail a complete thesis statement to Susan_Gallagher@uml.edu before Monday, November 21. 

Your final paper must be at least five pages long (double-spaced, 11 or 12-point type).  Since you will be graded according to your ability to convey accurate information in college-level prose, it would be wise to take your first draft to the Writing Center to get help with proofreading and correction.  All students who earned "B-" or lower on the midterm should definitely visit the Writing Center to avoid repeating similar mistakes, but those with higher grades would also benefit from having a tutor check their work.

The first draft, which should be polished and complete, is due via e-mail on December 1.

Corrected papers will be returned via e-mail by December 6.

Revised final papers are due via e-mail by December 9.

IMPORTANT: Your paper must be formatted for Microsoft Word, and you must include your name in the name of the file (yourname.doc or yourname.docx)
