Here are the handouts that will guide you through the research project for this course.

1.  Open “Research Paper Assignment” first and read it thoroughly.

2.  Open “Proposal Guidelines” and follow those instructions.

3.  As you begin to write, if you find you don’t know how to begin, open the Assignment handout and look up “Outline” and use that as a guide to “jumpstart” the writing.  Don’t feel obligated to use this outline.  You probably have a much better idea for organizing your research paper!

4.  Open “Peer Review” for the guidelines on reviewing this paper.

5.  Open “Rubric” to see the criteria I will be using to grade your papers.

6.  The student sample research paper has my marks, so you can see what was working and what needed help.  This is an excellent paper, and this student included illustrations and recipes as appendices!

7.  The Evaluating Web Sources Handout will provide the criteria for evaluating the credibility of your online sources.  Familiarize yourself with these criteria.
