THIS PAPER REQUIRES ONLINE ACCESS TO THE REQUIRED READING. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE ESSAYS, PLEASE DO NOT BID. THESE REQUIRED ESSAYS ARE THE ONLY SOURCE THAT CAN BE USED. THREE PAGES PER ESSAY.
The Comparison Paper differs somewhat from a traditional research paper in its format. In the Comparison Paper you are tasked to write three (3), distinct comparative essays that are submitted as one document. In each essay you will compare and contrast two of the assigned essays from the McMahon textbook (see below). Although I want the three comparative essays submitted as a single document, you may complete each of the comparative essays incrementally as we cover the material.
Each of the three comparative essays must be:
At least three (3) pages in length as a double-spaced Word document
One-inch margins
12-point, Times New Roman font.
Use of the Chicago Manual of Style is mandatory. The format is covered in the Rampolla text.
Correct citation style, grammar, spelling, and correct paragraphing are required. You need to edit your paper carefully to ensure that what you have written is clearly understandable. Failure to edit the essays will result in a lower grade regardless of the quality of the content of the essays.
