Writing A Term Paper
Formal Requirements
The term paper assignment is to research and write a paper on a topic concerning Major World Religions. The paper must at least 1000 words, excluding cover sheet, footnotes, and bibliography. You may write more than 1000 words, but you will lose points if it is not at least 1000 words. Please include a word count at the end of the paper. Attend to proper footnoting (any standard form is acceptable) and include a bibliography. I suggest a number of topics below, but you may write on a topic of your own choosing so long as I have approved it first.
