126HN UCSD Humash Rock Art in California
Writing
This research papers should be about 8-12 pages in length, typewritten or word-processed, and double-spaced. We should choose a topic that is clearly related to the content of the course, and which I can effectively research and compose in the time allowed. A list of suggested paper topics will be distributed to the class early in the quarter. (in the attached file). Research papers should include at least fifteen pages of text, endnotes, bibliography, and captioned illustrations.Any standard reference style is acceptable for citations–MLA, APA, University of Chicago “Style A” or “Style B.”
I personally prefer to write the topic of Chumash Rock Art in California. I will post my midterm study guide and several related articles, which clearly state the history of California Rock art.
All material that is not directly quoted and placed in an acceptable format for citing an author’s exact words must be original, meaning that you must state the ideas and information you present in your own words.To do otherwise is to commit plagiarism, and will result in disciplinary action.You must cite your sources for all quotations, specific facts, or the ideas of specific authors that do not fall within the realm of common public knowledge.You must also cite your sources for each illustration, naming the author, the publication, and the page number where the illustrations appear.It goes without saying that compositional skills will form a major component in the paper’s grade. I will assign grades based on the total quality of the work you submit.Good writing, spelling, punctuation, grammar, and organization will all contribute to earning a high grade.
