Writing in first person (telling the story of your experiences as you researched

Writing in first person (telling the story of your experiences as you researched and
learned about your chosen topic. Why
you picked that topic; how you started your research; what you learned; what confused
you; what you did next; etc)
No Cover Pages or Folders Desired. Put your Topic Title at the top of the first page
followed by your name, section, and the date. Paper length is expected to be 4 to 5
pages of typed text with 1 ½ line spacing and 12-point font maximum. Papers must also
have literature-cited section and in-text references (no special style is required). Expected five sources for your paper.
Research Advice: Don’t search for peer-reviewed technical articles, those are usually
too technical and focused on minute details rather than the big picture. Better are
encyclopedia entries, information in introductory textbooks, articles in popular
magazines, and books written for non-scientists.
