Benchmark #05: Scientific Independent Research Paper: First Draft

due 2/28

This is the first draft of the SIRP. The requirements for this draft are that it must be:

• Minimum of 3 pages
• Double spaced
• 12 point font
• In-text citations (using APA formatting)
• Reference Section (using APA formatting)

This rough draft is not a finished piece, but it is an important step in writing any research paper. One of the hardest parts of the writing process is getting the first few sentences down on paper. Get as much information as you can on this rough draft and we will spend the next 5 weeks revising, editing, and further researching so that by April 11th your SIRP will be a well polished and finished piece.
