Research Paper Final

This week, as we are finishing up the research papers, three short assignments are due:
  • The title page, including a 100-word abstract (summary of report)
  • A table of contents -- should correspond to headings throughout the paper
  • A letter of transmittal -- addressed to me, summarizing the purpose and contents of the report
Your revision should include an INTRO for the entire report, which could be an extension/revision of your original introduction for Paper #1, and a CONCLUSION. The conclusion from Paper #3 will be the conclusion for the entire paper.

As you are revising your drafts, please refer to the following sample papers for examples of the formatting guidelines discussed in class:

A Call to Action: Regulate Use of Cell Phones on the Road
The Mountain Lion: Once Endangered, Now a Danger
