BETTER RESEARCH PAPERS: WORKSHOP YOUR HANDOUT
2:00-3:30 PM, LIBRARY GREEN ROOM
Would you like to see higher quality research papers from students? Are you discouraged by grading papers with weak sources or insufficient citation?

NOTE: Please bring a paper copy of one of your research paper assignments to the workshop.
