Term Paper: Important Dates


Here are some important dates regarding the 3-Book Term Paper project. I advise that you refresh your memory as to the scope and focus of this project. It is easy to lose sight of the primary goals when completing a project over multiple quarters. Please refer to the handout "Three-Books Project Info," which is available here in PDF format. And now the dates:

Third Quarter
Monday, Feb. 15: 2nd Book Data Sheet due
Monday, March 8: 3rd Book Data Sheet due
Thursday, March 11: Guiding Question & Working Thesis Statement due

Fourth Quarter
Monday, March 29: Thesis Statement + Note Cards due
Thursday, April 15: Final Outline due
Thursday, April 22: Final Research Paper due in MLA format

N.B. This is a tentative schedule and subject to change, but none of the due dates will be changed to earlier dates than appear here. In March you will be given a full research packet, which will include all specifications for research, note-taking, and writing. Classes from April 12-21 will be dedicated to completing the outline and final research paper.

  1. Does it matter which book we choose to do second? We won't be doing presentations on it, right? So it won't really matter which book we read...is that correct?

  3. He's very to the point, wouldn't you say, VOR? :)

    Thank you Bartleby!
