TESU Capstone Course - difficulty rating

[P226mem]

I saw few courses specifically for academic research papers, but they were intended for PhD candidates only. Also there were quite pricy.
Dont understand why it should be such a mission to learn how to write research papers. It must be open for anyone who is interested.
But then academic  research is a money making business... sad

Missed this a few weeks ago.

Writing research papers was part of my high school, and community college Eng Comp .  And in TESU, instructions were there in the textbook with the LIB 495 textbook about narrowing down a topic and all kinds of stuff.    And part of doing SOS110 is about learning how to use the research databases.  Learning it was part of the SOS 110 and LIB 495 courses. 

Often, this is a link that is suggested as a resource. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writi...index.html


check out many of the topics on that link especially for MLA/APA stuff (citations). 

for citation method, I used the built in citation/reference tools in Google Docs and/or Word.  Google Docs seems to have the current MLA/APA versions while the version of Word I had was set up for earlier one.  and had a current writers handbook (print copy!) that had current versions.

Also for citation method, with the databases in TESU tools, there were options to click a button (Cite This) on the article you were reading and it would give you the citation (current version of many styles were available) .  A built in citation maker.

and yes! keep the annotated bibliography as you go.
