create a 4000 word essay (equivalent to 10 double-spaced pages). It is not a book
review or a summary of a research topic; instead, it serves as a blueprint for your own creative
research endeavor. The foundation of your paper lies in formulating a research question, a
genuine inquiry concluded with a question mark. Your task is to address and answer this
question within the confines of your paper. Our lectures will delve into defining a paper,
elucidating what constitutes a research question, and offering guidance on selecting an
appropriate topic and sourcing relevant materials. Finding a paper topic, synonymous with
identifying a research question, is not a last-minute endeavor. It necessitates early contemplation.
