Paper Guidelines [PLEASE FOLLOW IT BY 100%]
Basic Specifications
Audience:    Write the paper at a level understandable by an “average” student in this class.
Length:    About 10 typewritten pages (12-point font, double spaced, 1-inch borders).
Dates:    Turn in a topic statement (one paragraph) and a preliminary bibliography. [TOPIC STILL TO BE DECIDED]
Objectives: Preparing the paper should be one of the most rewarding experiences. If your paper is done properly, it should serve several purposes:
Topics: The following topics are acceptable for your term paper. Whatever topics you choose, your paper should present at least two opposing perspectives on any

issue or topic. Your paper should also present critiques on each perspective. They include the following:
1.    One option is to write an historical survey of economic theories or philosophies on a particular topic. Topics that you may find interesting would include

population growth, environmental protection, determination of wages (or rent or profits), effects of colonialism, arguments for protectionism, economics of

education or health, philosophies of taxation, etc. These are only a few of the possibilities; choose a topic that is interesting to you. In this case, you might begin by

exploring whether the topic was aIDressed by ancient authors (Greeks, Romans, Bible, etc.), and then you can move forward through time to review its treatment by

classical economists (Adam Smith and his followers) and modern authors.
2.    Since most of this course is about economic thought in the Western world, you may want to write your paper about economics ideas in some other region.

You could, for example, write a paper about the economic ideas that have been influential in East Asia (including, for example, ideas derived from Confucianism) or

the MiIDle East (including, for example, economic concepts in the Koran).
Writing Style
Please observe the following guidelines:
1.    To make the organization of your paper clear to the reader, provide an introductory paragraph that summarizes the outline of the paper, provide a clear

statement of conclusions, make careful transitions between paragraphs in the body of the paper, and make effective use of subheadings.
2.    Avoid excessive use of direct quotations.  Generally, when you use information from one of your sources, you should rephrase it into your own words, and

give proper credit to the original author.  By using your own words, you can maintain consistency of style and coherence of argument.  Use direct quotations only

when there is something significant about the original wording.  For example, you may want to include an important quotation by a national leader (John F. Kennedy

said, “Ask not what your country can do for you … “) or a witty statement by an author (John Maynard Keynes said, “In the long run, we are all dead”).
3.    There is nothing more boring than a paper that provides a long parade of facts without any interpretation.  Include your own analysis of the information,

explaining its significance.  Again, be sure to include a clear statement of your own conclusions.
4.    In this course, you probably will not present a lot of statistical information in your paper.  As a general rule, however, you should use statistics only to

illustrate or prove a point, not to make a point.  For example, you may make the general statement, “The standard of living has been declining in CountryX during

the past decade.”  Then you can use statistics (GDP per capita, infant mortality, etc.) to prove that point.  Do not provide a long list of statistics without explaining

their significance.
Grading
