Dominant Question: How does a research paper allow a student to deepen his or her knowledge of
anissue.
Remember Master’s programs and PhD. programs culminate in major research projects-the
Master’s thesis and the Ph.D. dissertation. Why do you suppose that Is’? (rhetorical question).
Task: After completing all of the assignments, compose a well-written essay in which you 1. explore
the role of a research paper; 2. delineate the role by exploring the similarities and differences, and
clarify the reason for different disciplines’ use of APA or MLA formats; and 3. detail how research
papers enhance the depth of a student’s knowledge. Shoot for 800 words. Make sure that
your paper is free of distracting grammatical, punctuation, and spelling
errors.
