^^^^Term Paper:

essay, 3) a bibliography in MLA format and alphabetized. For the purposes
of this assignment, use must be made of at least three secondary research

N.B.: While one resesarch paper source must be
hard copy--and there is no substitute for physically going to a library
to do research--a downloaded article from one of the NJIT Library's databases
can be considered as a hard copy source (it is best to check with the instructor
about the suitability of such an article).
There can be two drafts of the Term Paper.
