*IMPORTANT! You MUST earn all points on the proposal to ensure that you are ready to move on to more advanced stages of research and writing. I do not expect this to be difficult, but be aware that I will not accept your rough draft or your final paper if you have not earned all possible points on your proposal. You may redo as needed until this has been accomplished.
