This document outlines the requirements for a research essay assignment. Students must develop a research question, learn about argument techniques, draft an essay addressing opposing views and making their own view favorable using sources, share their writing for feedback, and revise according to feedback using course strategies. The essay will be graded on the clarity of the research statement/thesis, synthesis of at least 5 sources, articulation of two differing points of view, proper citations, and writing clarity/grammar. The grading will assess use of terms from assigned chapters in The Norton Field Guide on doing research.
