Research paper can be on any subject… I chose Hospitality because that will probably be the easiest for me to relate to but is not required. I’ve attached the Assignment grading Rubric, Objectives, Deliverables, & Source requirements to assist. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Objectives
- Apply the steps for writing a research paper
- Apply strategies to achieve emphasis in writing
- Apply the rules of spelling to correct spelling issues in writing samples
- Describe MLA style and when it should be used
Deliverables
- An argumentative research paper, at least 10 pages in length, containing at least eight sources cited using MLA style.
- Follow MLA formatting to list your name, course name, and date on the top left of the first page and your last name and page number in the header on the top right of all pages (explore the Purdue OWLLinks to an external site. website for examples and review the MLA checklist in Step 7).
- ‘Works Cited’ page(s) are not included in the page requirements.
- Your assignment will be graded according to the Assignment Grading RubricLinks to an external site.. Please reference this rubric when completing each assignment.
Source requirements:
Using the Internet and/or library resources, collect sources until you have accumulated at least:
- 3 sources from non-scholarly periodicals such as Time, Newsweek, or The Economist
- 3 sources from scholarly sources (use your library’s academic databases)
- 3 sources from the general Web (blogs, Web sites, etc.)
You need a minimum of 8 sources for this assignment, but it is recommended that you gather more while preparing so you can switch out sources if you need to. Keep a record of all the articles you consider by providing a citation and a link to each one.
