Problem Paper

Your final draft of the Problem Paper is due tomorrow. Please remember to bring your rough draft and all of your sources. Again, consider the following in your revision:
  • Is your topic clearly defined and explained?
  • Do you connect the problem to your field of study?
  • Have you provided an analysis of the causes of the problem?
  • Are you using at least three credible sources, and are they cited properly?
  • Do you have a "Works Cited" page, numbered in sequence?
  • Have you followed all the rules for MLA format?
Remember also that tomorrow is the absolute deadline for your interview letters. Next up is the Solution Paper, which may utilize some of the same sources. Make sure you check with me if you need a copy.
