Social Phobia – Mental Disorder Research Paper

For your research assignment, you will choose a specific and narrow topic from our readings this semester which you would like to know more about. Your completed project will consist of a formal research paper of at least 4 full pages.

The Paper
Write a thesis-driven essay that presents research on your topic. You are required to cite a minimum of 5 sources from academic journals or books you have retrieved through the library’s catalogs and databases (No sources from the World Wide Web will be accepted!) Your thesis should express your own unique and specific idea, and you should cite sources in your body paragraphs only as support for your own claims. Length: 4 pages, minimum

*You should have a good list of potential topics that we have generated during class

* Note: A requirement of this course is to demonstrate proficiency in using MLA guidelines for academic writing. Your paper must contain correctly formatted source citations. Attach a correctly formatted “Works Cited” page. Any instance of plagiarism (even the unintentional kind) will result in a failing grade with no opportunity to rewrite the essay.
