Overview
· 2-3 pages (APA formatted) exploring the history of your problem by using information found in or through the Chesnutt Library ONLY.
· You may not include anything found anywhere other than Chesnutt Library and/or the library’s website
· Your essay will consist of a summary (in your own words) of each library source (at least 3). One source MUST be a book (print or online).
· For extra credit, have campus Writing Center tutors or Upswing tutors review your paper before turning in your final copy. This is a part of your essay grade. (See Week 5 in Canvas for more info. on writing support.)
Learning goals:
1. Increase comfort and familiarity with using an academic library (Library of Congress organizational system, eBooks, online databases, academic journal articles, etc.) and reading and evaluating academic research.
2. Learn about the historical background of your problem:
· when did it begin and how has it worked over time, in various contexts;
· what do older studies and research tell us about it;
· what attempts have been made in the past to improve the situation; and
· how have they worked out
