Research papers that represent original contribution to the literature, that would likely be accepted in a conference, and potentially publishable in a refereed journal will attract high points. Research papers that are just a repetition of work that has already been done or that contributes little or nothing to the literature will attract low points.&nbsp;<\/span><\/i>You will work with me and the Teaching Assistant(s) throughout the process of writing the semester long research paper.
