For any who are confused the writing assignment that is due this week is on a topic of your own, so long as it is part of American History during the period covered in this class. (History Since 1877) Remember, no textbooks or encyclopedias are to be used as sources. A Short Paper Assignment allows you, early in the course, to demonstrate your research skills to your instructor and to receive feedback that will benefit you when you write your research paper. With this assignment, you will learn how to do proper and adequate research and write a short paper and prepare you for writing the research paper.
