You can pick any topic in bold, I also bold the inportant things that needs to be done in the paper. This need to be an A paper. Nothing less.
You don’t need to let me know which topic you’ve chosen;that’s up to you. Do NOT deviate from the list of topics given below without myapproval. Your paper should be four-five pages long, double-spaced in 12 pt.type with 1″ margins. Make sure that you use appropriate citation formatfor both the notes and bibliography. If you do not know how to do this, consultthe UMUC online library (button above under Resources). You should use at leasttwo BOOKS while doing your research. (If you are stationed somewhere where thisis not possible, contact me, and we can figure something out.) You should alsocheck the UMUC online library databases for articles on your topic as well asWWW sources. If you have trouble finding sources, let me know by email, and Ican try to help. If you have a question at any step in the research and writingprocess, please do feel free to ask me either by email or in the Q&Cconference. 🙂 Oh, and if you have not already read my advice on the researchand writing process in Content, “How to Write a Good History Paper,”you might want to do that now.
