On Monday, all students received a handout about the rubric for the research paper and guidelines for writing it. The final draft of the paper will be due on Monday, April 20 to Turnitin.com by 11:59 pm. There will be a 10% off penalty for each day the paper is late. We will be doing handwritten drafts in class this week and then next week we will be in the library Monday, Tuesday, and Friday--in addition to a day in the library on the 20th, the due date. Students should plan to write as much as they can now so that when classes are in the library they do not have to write the paper--just type it. Attached below are the two handouts and a PowerPoint explaining the rubric.
