For your required research project you can choose to do a Term Paper on a Old Testament book. Choose a book in the Old Testament and include the following; explain who the author is and how we know, the major reason for the book, the major topics covered in the book, and how the books applies to America''s present society, church or individual. Directly below is the REQUIRED formatting. Meeting the minimum standards for the paper will earn you a minimum grade. Therefore do a very good job at researching and writing. You DO NOT start at 100 and work your way down. You start with 0 points and work your way UP to 100. Submit only your best quality work. SOURCES The following are required sources: One book of high scholarship (a book in the college library) One historical journal article Only One website You will need FIVE sources all together, so add to these. An encyclopedia or textbook is NOT a source for a college student. You may use it to help you, but I will not consider it one of your FIVE sources. FORMATTING 1. Page/Paper Format. The paper must be typed, double spaced, one inch margins with a 1 1/2 left margin. Times New Roman Font size 12. The paper size is letter size, 81/2 by 11. Number you pages according to MLA format 2. You must have a Title Page, Five pages of Body (Typed text of research), and Works Cited Page. Submit no more than 8 pages. You are graded on the quality of your work, not the number of pages you submit. 3. Use the MLA Format for writing papers. Below are links to help http://webster.commnet.edu/mla/index.shtml The LRC has good sources also http://webster.commnet.edu/mla/index.shtml Usually you should have at least ONE citation per paragraph. Show me the author and page from where you got the information to write the paper and that paragraph. Do not plagiarize. If you plagiarize you will fail the assignment. PLEASE DO NOT PLAGIARIZE, I NEED TO PASS THIS COURSE.
