A research paper involves both the gathering of information and developing a student's own interpretation of that information. The student must stay focused on his or her chosen topic and rely upon his or her sources for information about that topic. While a student's own opinions about a topic are an important part of any research process, the student must be able to support his or her conclusions by direct reference to sources.

Remember that easily correctable spelling and grammatical mistakes left uncorrected will result in significant loss of points.
