Science is the only way to discover truth (or not). Explain why you agree or disagree with this statement.

Write a 750-1000 word paper, note that essays will be deducted 5% per 100 words over or under the limit (not including Bibliography/References and Title Page)–Please see below for details students must clearly write the word count of the paper on the title page or the top of the first page of the essay. You can use 1st person perspective (ie: ‘I’) but be wary of resorting to simple opinion to prove/substantiate your premises. As mentioned above, style is important, as is correct spelling and grammar/syntax. These things are always important in any situation, but especially so in the context of an academic paper. There are many style manuals available for free online (or in print from the Library) that can help you with these matters. A BIBLIOGRAPHY IS NECESSARY: a bibliography that clearly references all of the print and electronic sources you’ve looked at in order to write your paper. You may use both primary and secondary sources in this paper. You should use at least three (3) different sources to gain a balanced sense of the topic at hand. All sources (including the course readings, if you decide to use them) should appear in your bibliography. Use the library’s resources. A quick note: avoid non-peer-reviewed, Internet-website sources, as they are notoriously unreliable. Having mentioned this, peer-reviewed journal articles found online through the Library’s electronic resources are acceptable. ADEQUATE REFERENCING IS REQUIRED: If you use another person’s words (or their ideas) you need to reference that by either an endnote or a footnote, or an in-text citation. Your referencing format (ie: APA, MLA, Turabian, Chicago, etc…) is up to you provided that you are consistent throughout and that it is a commonly-accepted method. Please feel free to ask me if you have questions about this.
