SELECT A TOPIC ABOUT WHICH YOU CAN DEVELOP A THESIS-DRIVEN RESEARCH PAPER. Develop a 1000-1500 word research paper (about 4 pages plus reference page) for this course. Your paper must incorporate 5-8 reputable research sources such as peer-reviewed professional journal articles or other professional resources related to your topic, and no resources may be older than seven (7) years old. NO WIKIPEDIA or anonymous articles or websites allowed.
NOTE #1: You will work on developing your research paper starting with Unit I and throughout this course. Your final draft is due no later than by the close of Unit VIII, but can be submitted at any time AFTER you submit and receive instructor feedback for your Unit V Revised First Draft.
NOTE #2: If you do not submit the Unit III Research Proposal and/or Unit V Revised First Draft concurrent with the applicable unit assessments, i.e., in time to allow instructor feedback BEFORE submitting the research paper final draft, you risk earning a zero for these "building blocks" important to the development of your thesis-driven research paper
