Write the paper in 12-point Times New Roman font. Ensure each main body paragraph to be lengthy enough to answer each question. Proofread your paper to ensure it is (relatively) error-free. Typographical errors, especially, can distract the reader from your writing.Your paper should include a minimum of two sources. I recommend more than two sources, as you may need to consult multiple sources to answer some of the questions. You can cite non-academic sources, but you should choose reputable sources. Cite sources internally and in a works cited page. Use MLA or another recognized (such as APA) citation style when citing sources.As part of this research paper, you are instructed to draft and submit an outline. The outline is primarily for your benefit, and so it can be as simple as a phrase or sentence to alert you to your main argument for each paragraph. It can become elaborate, if you wish, such as summarizing each of your answers to each prompt in bullet-point fashion. My main objective for the outline is for you to think about the composition of your essay before you start writing it. Submit the outline to Canvas on the due date. Due date for the outline is listed at the end of the assignmentYou will submit an online copy to Canvas and a hard copy to me. Both copies should include a title page with your name and CWID on it. Please submit both copies on the due date.Collin College has incredible resources, such as the instructor (me), the Collin College Library, and the Collin College Writing Center, to help ensure your success.
