Research Paper (100 points): Early in the semester, you will choose a topic. Once I have confirmed your topic ~ read about it in our textbook, then locate 5 or more peer-reviewed journal articles NOT cited in our textbook that give you more insight. Ideal sources will have been published within the past few years and will be available as full-text PDFs.
