Written Project
General Directions:
You will need to submit a written project in this course. The topic of your paper
must be a specific topic discussed in class and should also relate to the general
ideas and concepts we are discussing in class. You will be graded (primarily) on
the content of your paper and the math included and demonstrated in the paper.
Remember, this is a math class, you paper will need to include a significant
amount of mathematics discussed and demonstrated in your paper. The more
math you can include the better your grade will be. I will not focus on spelling,
punctuation or grammar (as much). You may also include any graphs, charts or
tables that you can find that are relevant for your paper.
The written project should be at least 4 pages in length (12 font). You will need to
cite all references using APA citations and include a works cited page. Plagiarism
will not be tolerated.
Remember: Each project is very different! How you include math in your paper
will be determined by your topic, the numbers and percentages found during your
research. Some topics will relate more specifically to the formula's and examples
we are discussing in class.
