Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Research papers must be typed using size 12 Times New Roman font. There is a computer lab located on the second floor of the library, should your access to a computer be limited. You must have a current student ID to be able to use the computers there
2. LENGTH: A minimum of 5 full typed pages of text (double-spaced). In addition, you will include a title page, outline, and Works Cited page using size 12 Times New Roman font.
3. SOURCES: A minimum of four (4) secondary sources is required. The literary work you have chosen (novel or play) will count as a fifth source, the primary source. Among your sources, include at least one article from a scholarly journal in one of the databases. There are many sources available for literary research, and I expect you to use a variety of sources. Not all of your sources can be the same type (electronic, for example). See me if you have difficulty locating sources.
Guidelines for copies of sources:
Primary Source (the novel or play that is the focus of your paper) – copy only the title page and copyright information (usually found on the back side of the title page).
Secondary Sources (literary criticism of the primary source):
Gale Group, EBSCO, Infotrac, or Internet Source – print out the entire article
Printed article (includes reprinted articles in reference books such as Twentieth
Century Literary Criticism) – copy the entire article and the title page and copyright
information from the reference book it is in
Book – copy the title page, copyright information, and only the page or pages you have used (cited) in your paper
Masterplots, Cliffnotes, SparkNotes, Wikipedia, Grade Saver, ClassicNotes, etc., are not acceptable as secondary sources. Should you have concerns about the validity of a source, ask me.
4. PROCESS: You will be expected to follow a guided process in your research and writing. I have designed the course to make it easier for you to write a research paper step by step. On the course syllabus, I have indicated dates when tentative Works Cited pages, outlines, thesis statements, and rough drafts are due. You will submit your work by the due dates, and you will submit your written portion as a Word file; you will make a clearly legible PDF file of your sources and attach that in the View/Complete option. Any student who fails to follow these steps in a timely manner and does not indicate a work in progress will not be allowed to turn in a research paper.
