Assignment 4: Research Essay on Pride and Prejudice writing services
Introduction
This research essay of no more than 1,000 words contributes 25% toward your final grade for the course. As noted in Module Seven, this assignment requires you to use secondary sources. (Refer to the last module for the distinction between primary and secondary sources.) Please note your secondary sources may include the essays included in the “Criticism” section of your Norton edition.
Quotations and paraphrases from both your primary source (Pride and Prejudice) and secondary sources (articles and books on Pride and Prejudice) means that your essay must include parenthetical citations and a Work Cited list. Note that the Norton edition of Pride and Prejudice should be included in your Works Cited list.
Consult chapter 34, section 34a of the Harbrace Handbook for Canadians for specific instructions on citing particular kinds of sources. If, for example, you quote from one of the essays included in the “Criticism” section of your Norton edition of Pride and Prejudice, look for the instructions on citing articles or essays first published elsewhere.
Whether your research for Assignment 4 is extensive or narrowly focused, remember to avoid turning your essay into a patchwork of quotations from different articles and books. Your thesis should be the controlling feature of your essay.
Submit your paper as soon as conveniently possible. Although you’re not required to follow the suggested schedule in the manual, it’s a good idea to complete Assignment 4 at around the end of week twelve.
Use the same submission procedure as for Assignment 1.
