Paper details:
The student should then make use of available resources to gather information, facts, figures and so forth needed to actually write a high quality research paper. Most students will understandably use the internet. I strongly recommend www.mamma.com – “the mother of all search engines” as the service is free, can be accessed via any internet connection, and is just dandy for finding mountains of sources not usually available through more common internet providers.
I expect a 20 page research paper of true academic quality as the end product. This length DOES NOT include a reference page/pages which I expect will be attached at the end of the actual research paper. I do not care which format students select for their paper: use whichever method is most comfortable for you.
