Research Paper. The research paper will be 8-10 pages (2000-2500 words). The paper will compare a foundational document from the “selected profession” chosen by the student with the materials presented in the textbook and class regarding that same topic.. Thus, the paper will be a comparison of one reality with another. The paper will demonstrate: (a) the student has grasped information and insights of Rel 214-01, especially the understanding of a “foundational document” and its subsequent interpretation. (b) the student can read and understand new material and (c) the student can compare and contrast what he\/she learned in the course with information found outside of the course. <\/p>\n
