Since this is a writing intensive course, you will be required to research and write a research paper that is at least 15 pages in length. The paper must seek to answer some political philosophical question that deals with some contemporary political issue. An example may look to redefining justice, or civic engagement, etc. As the semester moves forward potential topics will become more obvious to you. Once again, the paper must conform to standards set forth by the Chicago style as well as the requirement listed above. For every day the research paper is late, a letter grade is deducted. Keep this in mind. Chicago style.
