Research 2
The Research Paper
Research 2: The Research Paper focuses on the process of writing a formal research paper—from selecting a general topic to preparing the final manuscript. It enables students to obtain and process information on different topics from print and electronic sources. With the information gathered, students write thoughtful, unified, and properly documented papers. Lessons lay a foundation for future research requirements. Lessons assume basic information literacy and prior experience with research projects.
