Q Your assignment for this week is to write a robust paragraph on your topic choice. This paragraph should indicate an informed decision about what you will pursue for your paper. As a result, it should go beyond simply listing a broad range of things you're interested in, or even a single broad area that you're interested in. This paragraph should have a defined subject matter that, in your best estimation, is appropriate for the five-page paper that you will ultimately produce. Your paragraph should receive a good grade if: 1. You paragraph exhibits a clearly delineated topic choice on your part. 2. You are able to demonstrate that there are reliable sources available on your topic. 3. You can present a credible rationale for the scope of topic in light of the page length requirements. Your paragraph will probably not receive a good grade if: 1. You don't deliver on the requirements above. 2. Your paragraph is too short to communicate the above to me. Shoot for at least a six-line paragraph. 3. You submit your paragraph late. Start now to avoid forgetting or running out of time. Pro tip: librarians are wonderful resources for this part of your project and are happy to assist you.
