Industrial Revolution

A Short Paper Assignment allows you, early in the course, to demonstrate your research skills to your instructor and to receive feedback that will benefit you when you write your research paper. With this assignment, you will learn how to do proper and adequate research and write a short paper and prepare you for writing the research paper.
CHOICE 1: Name three individuals from the Industrial Revolution whom you think offered the most to not only American society but to the world. Explain why you feel that these individuals were influential and discuss the impact (if any) that they have left on modern day society.  When answering this question keep in mind that all the guidelines listed below should be followed (this includes length, proper citation, etc). Turnitin is also used to make sure papers contain your own ideas.

The short paper needs to be turned in through the assignment section for grading. If you use any of the information from your sources word-for-word, you must cite the source by using endnotes or footnotes. If you read the information and write it in your own words and it is not common knowledge, then you must cite the source because you are paraphrasing someone’s information.

The short paper must include a cover page with your name, course number and course title, instructor’s name, and date. You must also include a bibliography at the end of your paper. While composing your paper, use proper English. Do not use abbreviations, contractions, passive voice, or first/ second person (I, you, we, our, etc). Before submitting your paper, check your grammar and use spell check. Remember, the way you talk is not the way you write a paper. Please label your paper as follows: lastnamefirstnameHIST112ShortPaper.
