How to Start a Term Paper Project
Devise 3 possible, potential term paper topics. Be thoughtful
about this - describe your interest sufficiently for anyone to
understand your intention. You should really be willing to write
a 5-10 page paper on any of the three topics you list.
Select one of these topics and find a source that would be likely to be
useful for the paper you might write. Summarize that source.
Your summary should be about 1/2-1 page long. It should be a
summary of the information. Do NOT discuss the paper, the author
or yourself. Focus on the information itself. Be careful
not to plagiarize. To cite the source completely and correctly,
see the instructions on the class website. If the source is not
available publically on-line (be sure to give the URL) attach a copy of
the article you are summarizing.
