Remember, a short paper in which the subject matter is treated concisely is better than a long, rambling discourse of mismatched ideas and quotations.
Quotations are okay if kept to a minimum.
At some point in time after mid-semester be prepared to present your topic to the class for a little bit of open discussion. We can all make suggestions and possibly open up new topics for consideration. Organization must follow a suitable outline and references must be cited properly. The rationale for doing a paper is to demonstrate an increased amount of knowledge in your chosen subject, above what you would have known had you not taken this course. Check with the professor or T.A. for ideas or if you are uncertain of the appropriateness of your topic.
