2) For your topic, pick a current world hotspot and write a paper on its historical antecedents. Specifically, in your paper, describe three to five major events, developments, people, conflicts, etc. in the past that have had the most significant impact on the current situation, and explain why each is significant. While you can certainly spend the first couple of pages describing the current situation, do not focus the whole paper on it. Also, do not offer prescriptions for dealing with the current situation or predictions about the future. That is political science, not history!
3) Your research paper should be from 2500 to 3500 words (approximately 10-14 pages) of text (exclusive of title page, notes, and bibliography), employing a minimum of five scholarly books and five scholarly journal articles. By scholarly books, I mean books written by scholars or perhaps journalists that are based on extensive research. Scholarly journals are those found on Norwich Online Library databases such as JSTOR or EBSCO Host. Magazines like Time and Newsweek, for example, are not scholarly.
4) I assess the papers in three broad categories of descending relative value: content, writing, and format. Regarding the content in particular, I expect to see a thesis and an argument that supports that thesis, as opposed to narrative. The good news here is that coming up with a thesis should be relatively easy. For example, maybe one of the historical factors might strike you as more important than the others�that would then be your thesis. Your argument will essentially be the historical factors that you have identified.
Be sure to provide a brief but effective introduction that includes a clear thesis statement. The conclusion should restate your thesis and recap your major points�nothing more, nothing less.
5) Evidence and support should be based on your research. In conducting your research, be sure to use the Norwich Online Library first, rather than just going straight to the Internet. There is a wealth of great resources in the Library, including human resources. Don�t hesitate to contact the reference staff to help you with your research, as that is what they are there for!
6) As for writing, I am admittedly a picky grader. I expect clear and concise prose that is free of colloquialisms, jargon, and careless grammatical errors. Writing should be logically organized, with well-constructed paragraphs (each paragraph should be not more than about a half-page), and smooth transitions from paragraph to paragraph.
7) Format includes font, margins, spacing, etc, as well as citations. I like a standard Times New Roman 12 black font, double-spaced and left-aligned. Please do not justify or center-align the text. Also, do not use headers, page breaks, etc. Margins should be standard 1� all around. Citations and bibliography should follow APA format.
