Students will be responsible for submitting a small research paper. The report will be due by Saturday, at midnight on the eighth week of the course. Papers should be 5-7 pages in length (excluding reference page, title page, etc.). They should be doubled-spaced, 12 pt. New Times Roman font, with at least FIVE academic references (written works written by doctorate-level scholars with established reputations in the field; e.g. commentary, scholarly book, dictionary or encyclopedia article, journal article, etc.). Note that the Bible and Gundry do not count toward this requirement of five academic sources. You may use online references in addition to these, but online encyclopedias such as Wikipedia and others are NOT acceptable for college level work. Papers should address the salient points relating to the research target from an academic perspective in significant depth. Information and ideas incorporated in the papers should be linked by footnotes to the appropriate pages in the source material (or by in-text parenthetical references if using APA style). Papers should contain an introductory paragraph with a clear thesis statement, a well thought out body of research, and a conclusion that includes comments by the student expressing the implications and significance of the research he/she has performed.
