Short Research Essay Instructions

Short Research Essay Instructions

After reading Chapter 10, choose one theory, claim, hypothesis, or model, and write about it. You must use at least one additional source of research other than the Course Reader. The goal of this essay is to find out more information about the theory, claim, hypothesis, or model you choose. Therefore, the information in your essay must go beyond the information given in the chapter.

You must write at least 2 full pages. Charts, diagrams, and quotations do not count toward your 2 full pages, double spaced. You must use 1-inch margins on all sides of your paper, and Times New Roman 12pt font. You must have only one space in-between your heading and the title, and one space between your title and the start of your first paragraph. Any other spacing will result in a lower mark. See below as an example for the beginning of your paper:

(Your header must be single-spaced. You can start double spacing after the title.)
Your name
The professor’s name
Name of the course
Date

Title

Start of the first paragraph.
