Assignment
The term paper must be on a topic approved by the instructor, and should reflect the focus of your individual theme for the ENG 112 portion of this learning community. Term papers will be no less than five full pages of text and should not exceed ten pages, although it is OK to go a bit over on the page limit. However, you should not, under any circumstances, turn in less than the minimum pages of text, which does not count the works cited page, space taken up by illustrations, etc... All term papers will be done in size 12 Times New Roman font, double spaced and will follow MLA format. All term papers will have a minimum of two print sources (books, professional journals, magazine articles, etc) in addition to the textbook (it is expected you will use it as well) and two electronic sources (legitimate websites, NC Live, etc). Students are encouraged to use more sources and to use additional sources such as interviews, site visits, etc. Note: definition of legitimate websites will be discussed in class but students are encouraged to discuss such sources with instructor prior to use.
