Length: 8-10 pages double spaced, plus works cited (not counted in page requirements)
Research: (The topic is “Gender Gap in Computer Engineering”)
You need to have enough research that you have given sufficient evidence of the conclusions you reach. I also need to be convinced that you have really delved into the subject. If you are unsure of your research, ask me or our librarian, Teagan ([email protected]). For this essay, you need to use at least eight sources of research. That may not be enough for your argument, but it is the minimum requirement. You should already have eight potential sources from the weeks of discussion. Remember that your eight sources should be a variety of perspectives, scholarly and otherwise. I rely on your own common sense to dictate the balance of perspectives. Some of your research may actually be representative of your opposition so you can reach them as well.
