You will also be critiquing your fellow students during their presentations
You will do a brief presentation (5-10 minutes) with visuals for the class on your topic and research. DO NOT READ YOUR TERM PAPER!

- Graphic Novels (pick a genre)
- Comic Books (classic comics, action/adventure, alternative or horror)

- Contemporary Graphic Designers
Style points for paper:
1) DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! I expect that you will list at least 2 references in your paper - it is a research paper after all. If using the internet, DO NOT assume websites are legitimate or reliable sources of information. Both direct quotes and paraphrased material MUST BE CITED. Paraphrasing is appropriate; avoid excessive quotes.
2) I have chosen graphic styles we do not discuss heavily in this class. This is done on purpose to expand your exposure to graphic design. If you want to research a style not on the list, please discuss with me first.
3) Proper grammar and correct spelling are expected and your paper will be marked down for errors and mistakes. If you need help with your writing, visit the Writing Center in Bisdorf. They are there to help you.
