Assignment 1.  Each Student must choose a topic from this course and write a short paper on the topic.  This paper should have at least 5 references and should not exceed 10 double spaced typewritten pages.  The paper must be well written and properly documented.  Have a topic chosen for my approval by our September 27th class.  A rough draft will be due on October 25th with the final paper due November 29th or earlier. Meeting each deadline will be computed into your final paper grade.  Please note that there will be no class meeting on October 18th in order for each student to have ample time to complete a rough draft (therefore, the rough draft is not expected to be so “rough”.) Internet sources, other than Lexis, shall not be used without prior approval because those citations tend to change and/or disappear.
