DESCRIPTION:

This 6-8 page paper can take two forms: a case study OR a research project that attempts to solve a problem you have identified in your life/the world around you.

A case study requires researching an individual (or organization?) and delving into that person’s creative process & life history. We will look at case studies in lecture; this should help you in understanding how to structure and approach a case study.

A research project will require identifying a problem, mulling over possible solutions and then implementing and evaluating those solutions. This is obviously incredibly broad & vague because the task itself requires you to look around and diagnose a problem. It is personal.

Writing a good paper requires planning, researching, thoughtful writing, and revision. A good paper will demonstrate the knowledge you have gained researching this particular person or problem as well as express your thoughts and ideas. Please take time to create a well-structured paper and to fix grammatical errors.

For this assignment use 12-point font, double spacing, and normal margins. You may choose whichever style guide you wish (MLA, Chicago), but be consistent throughout. Be sure to cite all ideas that are not your own. Properly cite any quotes according to the format you choose.
