In the course of English 1101, the students are required to go through a detailed process of developing a research paper.  The first paper is an information paper.  The second is a persuasive paper.  There will be a series of requirements, and procedures for each of them. ^[1]

Before beginning any paper, it is important to review the requirements for the paper.  What kind of paper is to be written?  How many resources are required, and what type?  Is it a brief paper?  What format should be used -- MLA/APA/CSE?

Each step, as listed below, is a link to an explanation of the process. 

Each step will provide specific details. 

Consider the following timeline.

Paper due - present = number of workdays.

Plan each step at 10% of workdays.
