W: All right, everyone. Please pay attention. Can everyone hear me in the back?

M: Yes!

W: Good. Today, we’re going to talk about your term papers.

M: I thought we only had some weekly tests, a midterm, and a final for this class.

W:I have decided to take out the weekly tests and add a term paper instead. I think this will give you all a better opportunity to show what you have learned.

M: How long should the paper be?

W: All papers should be at least five pages long, but no more than ten pages long.

M: How should we decide what to write about?

W: You can focus on any period from the 18th to the 19th century. You can basically write about anything you want, but you must choose an idea, present an argument, and support it with research. That means you will need to find at least eight sources from the library or online.

M: What kinds of sources are acceptable?

W: Books and articles in newspapers, or magazines are going to be your best sources of information. Films and interviews might also be okay, but you should discuss these with me in advance.

M: When are the papers due?

W: All papers will be due on January 22. That gives you four months to finish them. However, we will have meetings every month where you will need to have completed certain parts of the paper.
