- Length: 2,000 words minimum (approximately 8 pages).
- Structure: Students should develop a clear introduction with an easily identifiable thesis statement. The student should then present the argument, giving examples and explaining the importance of the chosen examples and how they affect/relate to the thesis. The conclusion should summarize the main points and restate the thesis.
- Sources: The thesis should be defended with sound historical evidence throughout the paper (aim for an average of three citations/references per page). The evidence should include both primary sources and secondary sources (as specified in the Research Paper Proposal). The bulk of the secondary sources should be peer-reviewed/academic sources.
- Format and layout: Typewritten using a 12-point Times New Roman font and 1” margins throughout. All pages should be double-spaced with a title page, pagination.
- Style: Make use of the Chicago Style of Humanities citations. Visit the Chicago Style page by the University of Guelph Learning Commons to learn more about how to cite and reference your resources.
10 GOLDEN QUESTIONS:
(Each of you should ask these questions about your proposal/paper…NOTE: I’ve highlighted the issues that affected the vast majority of students)
- Do I have a primary source? (And does it fit the actual time period I am looking at?)
- Do I know the difference between a primary and a secondary source? (80% OF STUDENTS APPARENTLY DON’T…you need to understand this one!) check out this link: https://guides.lib.uoguelph.ca/PrimarySources
- Are my secondary sources academic/peer-reviewed? (e.g., quality academic sources and not just TSN, oilersnation.com, so-and-so’s-blog, etc…)
- Is my thesis (argument) clearly stated/obvious?
- Is my thesis compelling enough? (Does it demonstrate “critical analysis”?)
- Is my paper too broad/vague? (Am I trying to say too much in such a short paper?)
- Am I trying to cover too many time periods? (e.g., the ENTIRE history of the women’s game)
- Is my paper “historical”? (i.e., you should be looking to the past and not “now” or the “future”)
- Does my paper employ historical specificity? (Do I name names, use concrete dates, a specific time period, etc…? or do I only discuss in vague terms?)
- Am I using Chicago-Style (foot/endnotes)? (no one was seriously penalized on the proposal, you will be if you don’t use Chicago on your paper)
