Research Paper Assignment Sheet

In your best English and in only your own words except for direct quotations, write a research paper of at least eight full pages plus the works-cited list on the occupational career you post in 4.2. Your research paper will respond to all aspects of this prompt: Prompt: What are the qualifications for the occupational career; the duties and work conditions in the career; and the compensation in the career, including ways a person in this career can make a difference in the world?

All the information in your research paper must come from research you do for this assignment during our fall class.

Do not use any information you had or found before starting to work on this assignment. Make sure all your sources are reliable. Do not change the career you posted in 4.2 for this assignment even though you may need to narrow or broaden your career based on the material you find. For instance, if you choose the career “third grade teacher” but can find only enough material to write on

“elementary school teacher,’ then broaden your topic to

“elementary school teacher.’ If you choose “physician” and find enough material to write your paper just on

“dermatologist,” narrow your topic to “dermatologist.”

Generally, the narrower the topic (in this case, career), the better as long as you can fully support your paper.
 

All the points you make have to be supported with quotations, summaries, or paraphrases from reliable

entries on your works-cited pages.

Please type your paper in the ninth edition of Modern

Language Association (MLA) style, in size 12 Verdana black font. Except when quoting exact words, please stick to third person and do not use contractions. Please use no more than two block quotations. Please be ready to peer.

How to Use This List

Do not consider this list a checklist. For each question, do

not be satisfied with just one answer: get as many answers

as you can to the question. Reliable sources can give you

different answers to the same question. Some questions may be more applicable to your paper than others. Some of the questions may not apply to your paper. If you find similar answers to the same questions, keep all those sources on your tentative works-cited list. Do not feel limited by the questions on this handout. Feel free to create more research questions that are in line with prompt. Do not write the questions in your research paper.
