Template for First Draft of Term/Research Paper

Here is the template for the first draft of your term/research paper. For Political Science 14 classes, the paper should be within the 15-20 page range. For Political Science 151 and 160, the paper should be within 20-25 page range. The prescribe page range excludes the bibliography. Please take note of the your citation and listing of references. The Chicago Manual of Style provides two ways of doing these. Consult the CMS 16th edition for more questions. Strictly no social media-related references are allowed. Only academic and reputable sources should be considered as references for the paper, except for interviews and field visits that the student may wish to conduct. However, the later is not required at the level of my courses.
