Start with a question related to your own academic and\/or culturally relevant interests. Ask yourself questions about the<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">behaviors, beliefs, values, communication and symbols of a group\/community you belong to. Develop a central research question that is up for discussion in current academic literature; use this question as a guide to find credible and relevant sources discussing a debatable issue.<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span>&nbsp; As you approach this research project, start not with a formed judgment or predetermined answer, but instead with curiosity. Think like a scientist to take the conversation beyond prejudices, politics, and personal feelings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\">Then, after much reading, you will arrive at your own conclusions through a process that includes a careful examination of available evidence: summarizing information, analyzing arguments, synthesizing ideas, and generally taking a critical view of that evidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\">Be sure that the guiding Research Question you choose does not call for answers that merely report or explain an issue. In your Research Essay, not only do you need to<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\">take a position<\/strong>, but you need to<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\">clearly define<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong>what your position entails. You will make judgments and draw your own supported conclusions based on the evidence presented.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<ul style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 25px; cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">\n<h3 style=\"margin: 15px 0px 6px; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5; cursor: auto; color: rgb(205, 205, 205);\">Essay Criteria<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 40px 0px 20px; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; cursor: auto; color: rgb(205, 205, 205);\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; cursor: auto;\">The Research Essay will be evaluated based on your argument&#8217;s overall ability to reach its target audience and persuade them of the purpose.&nbsp;<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; cursor: auto;\">The writer builds strength with the claims, support, structure, organization and use of appeals. &nbsp;A strong argument will:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Establish a strong sense of your audience &amp; purpose. Gain their trust and understanding so they are willing to help you in the goal of your argument. &nbsp;What do you seek to accomplish with your writing (purpose), and who do you anticipate will help you to achieve this goal?<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Make an argument intended to convince the reader of your main point. A clear, specific main claim (thesis statement) in the introduction paragraph helps the reader know the arguable point that will control the content and tone of the essay.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Develop multiple body paragraphs that follow an organizational strategy. Instead of developing too many supporting points (reasons), instead focus on just a few sub-claims and developing those in depth. Each body paragraph should directly support the main claim, one idea at a time. Think about how each paragraph allows the reader to understand your main claim better and moves the reader logically forward in your argument.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Aim to depolarize the issue by finding and establishing common ground with your reader, who may initially oppose your viewpoint(s). Address and respond to counterarguments (the most reasonable and strongest argument against your position) in a way that helps you develop a more sophisticated argument.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Support for your argument is essential. It is important to consider what the reader needs to know and how to introduce research so that it flows. Careful to not simply summarize the sources. You should show analysis and synthesis of the sources. This will develop a conversation with the sources by demonstrating how your sources relate to one another and explaining how examples support your main or supporting points.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Use credible, recent, and relevant sources to support your argument and develop your logical reasoning. You will need to use at minimum five (5) sources; this will include at least two (2) academic\/scholarly sources.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Make sure to fully understand your sources. You do not want to misquote or misrepresent your sources because of misunderstanding. When incorporating outside sources into your essay, include mostly paraphrased material and limit the use of direct quotations. Use rhetorically powerful verbs in your signal phrases to contextualize the outside ideas.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Apply a variety of rhetorical strategies to successfully persuade your reader. Keep your audience &amp; purpose at the forefront of every \u201cwriterly choice\u201d you make.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Pay attention to details! A carefully proofread final draft that is generally free of distracting and confusing sentence-level errors and correctly cites the sources you used. This adds to your credibility as a writer and critical thinker.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Avoid directly addressing your reader by not using the second pronoun &#8220;you.\u201d Additionally, the essay is not a narrative, so be purposeful in your use of first person: I, me, we, our, us.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"padding: 20px 40px; cursor: auto;\">\n<h3 style=\"margin: 15px 0px 6px; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5; cursor: auto; color: rgb(205, 205, 205);\"><i style=\"margin: -25px auto 0px; padding-left: 3px; font-weight: 900; font-size: 25px; line-height: 50px; cursor: auto;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>Submission Guidelines<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 25px; cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\">Length<\/strong>: 1,500- 2,000 words of text (5-7 pages) plus citations documentation (required)<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\">Documentation<\/strong>: Choose ONE of the following documentation styles: MLA&nbsp; or APA .
