TOPIC OF PROJECT: Fracking in North America
Directions:
Address also the effects on the environment. How does the environment benefit? How does the environment get
affected? What are the pros and cons?… Within those broad guidelines, you have considerable freedom. Be original. so,
– Delve into case studies rather than broad generalities. Pick a sub-topic. Focus on a country, state/province, city/village,
or even neighborhood, not a global general issue.
– If you have interest, family history, or expertise in a given region or topic, use it.
– Don’t repeat too much information given in class, except as a quick scene-setting.
D. STRUCTURE OF FINAL PAPER:
This guide is designed to show you what needs to be in this paper, so you can make it as complete as possible. Keep in
mind that this paper itself is not due until end of term, but your research must be done well in advance of that date.
Main sections – Firstly, your paper must have a title. Then organize it by sections. Try to follow these sections below, or
any others you deem relevant, in writing your paper. Depending on your topic, you have some freedom in organizing
your text and choosing your own sections, maybe even not listed here. Whether these or your own, you must label the
sections in the paper, meaning, use them as headings.
So, here’s a rough order.
Part 1 – Background information on your topic, description of your type of energy, efficiency (if applicable)…
Part 2 – Major benefits and major drawbacks, if any; application in the world today…
Part 3 – What’s the environmental, or ecological impacts?…
Part 4 – What are some solutions or actions, if any, that have been implemented?…
Length – The core, written section of your paper must be min 8 full pages in length – excluding bibliography or images –
double spaced, Times New Roman — not Arial — font 11 or 12 (no larger), margins less than or equal to 1 inch. This is
equivalent to a paper with about 2,800-3,000 words or so. Don’t give me less…
Note: No extra spaces between paragraphs anywhere in your paper; no large spaces on the top first page. The first page
heading should be the tittle (very clear and pertinent) and your name only (meaning, no date, class, instructor name, etc
– this is not needed, and is given by Canvas already). No cover sheets please.
Images
– You must include images that illustrate your point, with full captions, and only at the end. These can be photos,
diagrams, charts, pie charts, figures, or anything that you find relevant. They are not part of your written page total, so
include them at the end of your text. You should have a minimum of 5 images (can include as many as you’d like).
Bibliography/Citations – Please include a complete list of references (in MLA style or other), fully numbered, on the last page. You’ll need a minimum of 10 references (easy to do if you research your topic widely). They’re not part of page
limit.
Use high-quality information: Citations must be from scientific and objective sources. Random or individual or overtly political or propagandistic websites are unreliable and not allowed. Use respectable websites, scholarly books, scholarly articles from refereed journals, peer-reviewed scientific articles, and respected news agencies or government sources for your information.
You need to reference your data within the text of your paper (for ex, if you state that “300 gallons of oil were spilt into
the ocean last winter”, where did this number come from?).
Visit the websites from university departments that are researching your topic (Hint: in Google look for “Advance
Search” and put down as the domain/site: edu). Our Library should also help you with finding the required references.
Very few Wikipedia references allowed (remember that anyone can add anything to Wikipedia).
