What I Look For In a Research Paper
I WILL REFER TO THESE NINE POINTS WHEN GRADING YOURS

I want you to do well on this first assignment, but there are some rules you must follow, so this is what I am going to be
looking for in your research paper, due at the end of week 4.

If you really want to do a good job on this then you MUST write from an outline, and if you’re unsure of how to write one,
there are plenty of sites on the Internet. In addition, I will be happy to look at yours as well as your draft of the
paper before you submit it, so please call me with any questions.

If you do not submit assignment 1, you automatically lose 14 percent. If you fail to submit both assignments 1 and 2, you
automatically lose 28 percent. That’s three letter grades, which means that the highest grade you can receive in the
course is a C, even if you get 100 percent on every other assessment.

Your title must be the same as the assignment topic. EXACTLY the same.

Omit photographs and art work, but if you include graphs or tables, then you must explain them.

Don’t begin with a history of the country or where it’s located or its main industries, agriculture, population, etc. Get
right to the point.

Do not use any phrases that begin with “I think . . .” or “In my opinion . . .” or “I knew someone who . . .” This is a
research paper, not an opinion piece.

If you list a reference in the bibliography, it must be cited as a source in the text of the paper. Ten references = ten
citations in APA.

Do not list URL (web) addresses either in the bibliography or as citations in the text. Use the author’s name and date of
publication.

Do not quote long paragraphs, because they take up too much space. Use few lines only and then paraphrase the rest.

MAKE CERTAIN YOU SUBMIT A TURNITIN WITH LESS THAN A 20% SIMILARITY INDEX. OTHERWISE, I CAN’T READ YOUR PAPER FOR A GRADE.
Choose from the following:

President Kennedy 1961-1963 Respond flexibly to communist expansion, especially to guerilla warfare.
President Nixon 1969-1974 Supply weapons but not troops to countries fighting off communism.
President Reagan 1981-1989 Sponsor anticommunist guerillas who are trying to overthrow pro-Soviet regimes.
