Students must write a research paper between 1500-1800 words, not including citations, bibliography or images captions.
This assignment continues from the poster proposal and bibliography assignment. Students will maintain the same topic and adhere to the comments and suggestions made by their instructor. If required you might need to pivot, alter, or adjust your topic. It is expected that your topic may expand or contract, however, any major changes in the research must be approved by your instructor.
Your final paper must cite at least five academic sources beyond your textbook (note that you do not have to use all the sources found in the bibliography proposal assignment if they prove unworthy). You must meet the following resource-type requirements:
2 academic books or ebooks (excluding your text) *your text can be your 3rd book, but both your primary resource and all sources should be well balanced
2 academic articles that are peer reviewed from an academic journal (found through the U of W database)
1 website (Academic)
*Sources such as Encyclopedias, Wikipedia, Britannia, Encarta, or any other online dictionaries or open-sourced resources are not allowed. This includes sites such as, but not limited to: artsy, artstory, youtube, reddit or other social media. Videos and documentaries are not permitted.
The library is the best place for you to begin your search on your chosen topic, make sure you are logged on (google scholar is discouraged). Danielle Bitz is looking forward to helping all of you with your research as the Indigenous Librarian. Michael Dudley is the History Librarian and can also be a great resource.
Your paper will be submitted through NEXUS in the corresponding Assignment Folder. Only PDF of Word Doc or Docx will be accepted.
