Final Paper Guidelines
Final Paper-Students will select a topic from a list of Pre-Approved Topics for their final paper. Students will develop a focused literature review based on scientific and peer-reviewed research. The paper will develop 2-3 main claims, then support those claims with literature and scientific evidence. Papers should draw from the course textbooks and a minimum of 4-5 outside, non-textbook, sources (books, scientific research, peer-reviewed journal articles) to support main claims. Papers should be 5-7 pages double-spaced.
All papers should:
a) identify the main concepts and approaches for this topic
b) provide a comprehensive overview of the main theory/literature
c) discuss real life events and situations where these issues are playing out in society, politics, and/or the environment.
