The goal of a research paper is to learn more than what you have discussed or read in your course work and do an in-depth analysis of a topic. Research papers show your professor what you are capable of adding to a topic beyond what he/she has taught you. You will use outside source material, draw insightful conclusions and illustrate a thorough understanding of one very narrowly defined issue or topic. The goal of a research paper is to show your professor you are an expert on a specific topic you learned about in class or a topic that is related to the course work.
