Sample Research Papers

 

If you would like to read some sample research papers that effectively analyze and blend secondary source information, visit the Senior Seminar Anthologies  http://www.westga.edu/~engdept/dp/SSAnth.htm posted on the English Department’s website.  (Keep in mind these are not in MLA format in that they are not double spaced or headed in the way suggested in the sample essay in Tab 6 of your Writer’s Resource because they were reformatted for publication, so don’t confuse this format for the one you are asked to use in your essay.)
