Tomorrow in class, we will begin to discuss the outside research you will need to complete for the second paper. While this class does not require as much outside research as the next level of writing course (WR 50 or a 109), I do want you to be introduced to some work in this area.
As you know, you will need to locate two additional sources to help your Explanatory Synthesis. This research must come from credible sources. The easiest way to locate credible sources is by working directly through the library--99.9% of the time, it won't steer you wrong.
To find research on your topic, here are some helpful links...
1. http://www.library.ucsb.edu/subjects/index.html By using this site, you can click on a variety of subject areas, and it will lead you through the steps to locate appropriate research. For this paper, you may want to explore some of these areas: Chemistry, Medicine, Psychology, Biology.
2. http://www.library.ucsb.edu/help/faqresearch.html#research This site will be helpful as an introduction to research at the library, if you need it.
3. http://www.library.ucsb.edu/learn/ This site will be helpful in evaluating sources and working with web sources. I am not requiring it as homework, per se, but it will benefit you in the long run.
4. http://www.bedfordstmartins.com/online/citex.html This is a helpful link about citing sources using a variety of styles.
5. http://library.osu.edu/sites/guides/chicagogd.php This site details how to cite using Chicago Style.
Hope this all helps!
