Your research log must show at least 10 sources including at least two articles from one or more databases and at least one scholarly article. (The scholarly article can be from a database, thus also fulfilling one database source requirement.)

Each source must be properly cited according to APA documentation style. The log will be turned in with your paper.

Do research to examine your question, problem or issue from a variety of perspectives.

Write an exploratory paper of 850 words and present it according to the format guidelines in your syllabus.

In your paper explain your chosen question, problem or issue and why you are interested in it and have not, as yet, reached a satisfactory answer or position (your starting point).

Write a first-person, chronologically organized, narrative account of your thinking process as you did your research. Do not simply report on what you found, but show evidence of a dialectic process in which you think about what you are learning.
