WINTER LEARNING PROGRAM 2013
Seminar Title: “A+ Research Paper” Instructors: Gregory E. Bodeep M.Ed. & Hank Jones M.A Seminar Description: This seminar will explain details with step-by-step directions as to writing research papers. The students will learn “how to” through presentation of information of the following: establishing a topic, looking for sources, taking notes, organizing ideas, writing a first draft, using footnotes and endnotes, writing a bibliography, revising the first draft, and proofreading the final draft. Curriculum Connection: The seminar is designed to assist students in writing and learning steps to successful research. The class will combine lecture by Gregory and Hank with active participation by the students. Writing will be required in the seminar. Given the time constraints of 5 days, producing a full research paper is not the goal; however, producing a sample outline is a reasonable goal. Learner Goal(s): At the end of this seminar, the students are expected to have a better understanding of the research paper process. They will know how to write a paper for their classes at MSA and take the skills they learn and use them in college. Seminar Length in days: 5
