The Research Paper: Module 5

Write and submit the initial draft of paper.  

• No abstract needed as this paper is a Literature Review, not an experimental study.  A Literature Review is the presentation and analysis of the literature already published on your topic.

• Underline the topic sentences - All sentences in that paragraph will relate to and support the topic sentence.

• Use in-text citations, avoid flowery language, be precise and concise, avoid run-on sentences, avoid personal pronouns, and integrate sources.

• Conclude paper - Make sure that your major points relate to the thesis, and are laid out in an effective organization.
