Choose a technical or scientific term in your field of study and write a 750-1000 word expanded definition of it with a cover memo. Your expanded definition must be supported by scholarly or vetted sources that are properly quoted and cited. You will be required to have six sources for this paper, at least three from peer-reviewed journals, the rest from suitable general readership publications. There are no date restrictions for articles used. No Wikipedia and APA style formatting and should use OED for word definitions.
