Before submitting your Research Paper, please be sure that it meets the following guidelines:

* Your paper should have a clear and focused purpose and strong supporting paragraphs that use plenty of details to develop and prove your thesis. Please remember that the strength and clarity of your thesis statement and supporting paragraphs are in part a function of the proper use of grammar, the proper spelling of words, and the appropriate use of punctuation.
