研究論文變得簡單：自訂進度

*****Please note: Even though this class is a self paced class, it is completely based on interaction with the teacher.  This class is simply a collaborative effort between teacher and student. If you are looking for a class where the student can just write a paper based on watching videos, this class is not for you. Please reach out to the teacher with any questions. 
Writing a research paper can be a daunting experience.  This class is designed to jumpstart college bound writers on how to write a research paper.  Please notice that this class is not designed to teach students how to write a good paragraph.  Students that sign up for this research paper course should already be very comfortable writing a paragraph. If you are unsure if your student is ready for this course, please reach out to the teacher to discuss. 
Students may choose their topic of research. If the student is not sure what to write about, then the teacher's suggestion will be to write a research paper over a historical person.  The students will get to choose the historical person, but it must be someone in history who was born before 1950. Students will choose their historical person during the first week of class and will then be required to find their own sources to read and research after their topic is chosen. Student and teacher will discuss the topic and sources through a live meeting in the classroom or with messages back and forth. After students have chosen their topic and gathered sources, the next step will be to develop an outline for the paper. The teacher will guide the students in making their outline.  After the outline is made, the students will begin writing the various paragraphs listed on their outline under the guidance of the teacher.    Editing will occur as the research paper progresses.  Students will submit one paragraph at a time to the teacher and the teacher will send back any edits that need to be made. 
If the research paper is completed to the teacher's and student's satisfaction before the first 10 weeks after enrollment are up, the remaining class sessions will be refunded. 
Week 1 - Students and teacher will discuss together the plan for the course and students will begin brainstorming their topic and creating an outline. 
Week 2 - Students will finalize their outline for the paper 
Week 3 - Students will begin writing their introductory paragraph. 
Week 4-10 - Students will continue editing and writing paragraphs.  A works cited page will be included at the end of the paper.
