Writing a research papers: Writing papers is a major means of communicating knowledge, ideas, and critical analysis. In writing papers, take notes on your subject as you read and use an outline to organize your ideas and research. This approach will allow you to present your subject in your own fashion, communicating through your own words. Papers in which information is continually taken directly from another individual's authorship without metamorphosis of idea will be graded accordingly. Plagiarized papers will result in a failing grade and the student will be reported to the Academic Dean.
