    Paper/Creative Project Guidelines

    One of the milestone projects in this course will be to complete a short


    paper or a creative project on a relevant topic of your choice. You may
    choose a topic that relates to your other academic interests (ex: Roman
    architecture for an engineering student, Roman food for culinary
    interests, music, drama or painting for fine arts interests, etc.) The scope
    is entirely up to you, however there are some guidelines that you must
    follow for completion of either the paper or the project.
    Due dates:
    Monday, March 22 : Topic proposal

    • This should be submitted to the discussion forum on the Ning. This


    will be located on the main page. You are certainly encouraged to
    submit this information sooner rather than later in order to
    guarantee that you have a viable project.
    • The proposal should include the following information:
    o Name
    o Section
    o Topic
    o Indicate Paper or Creative Project
    o Indicate type of creative project (ie. Film, dramatic
    presentation, website, etc.)
    o Indicate if this is a group project and list the names of the other
    group members.
     Each person in the group should submit a proposal.
    Tuesday, April 6: Papers/Projects Due. No late papers/projects will be
    accepted.
    Paper Guidelines:

    • 4 pages
    o Lengthy quotations from primary sources will not count
    towards the page requirement.
    o Papers less than 4 FULL pages will not be read and will receive a
    zero
    o Do NOT write more than six pages.
    o Works cited page is not counted towards the total page count
    • 1.5 spaced, 12 pt., Times New Roman font
    • Header in upper right hand corner should include last name and
    page number
    o This needs to be done in the “header” NOT the body of the
    paper
    • A minimum of three resources
    o You may use primary texts from class, but at least two of your
    secondary resources should be obtained on your own.
    • MLA citations and formatting (Visit this site for help on this)
    • Standard essay format
    o Your paper should be well organized with an introduction,
    thesis, supporting details and a conclusion.
    • Spelling and grammar will be considered in your grade
    • Essays will be assessed on quality of research, analysis and the
    meeting of requirements
    • You should not simply list a history of an event or idea, but also
    make some effort at analyzing the importance of your topic within
    Roman culture.
    • Hard copies only will be turned in on April 6 during lecture.
    Creative Project:

    • You may choose any medium that you’d like including the creation
    of a short play, film, original song, painting, skit, etc.
    • You may work in groups for this option (with the exception of
    paintings or photography – those are individual only projects); the
    maximum number of members in a group is FOUR
    o You may work with students within your discussion section or
    in another section. All members and participants completing
    substantial work on the project must be students in CAMS
    1102.
    • While the form of your project is entirely up to you, you are still
    bound to some research responsibilities
    o minimum of four resources
     You may use primary texts from class, but at least two of
    your secondary resources should be obtained on your
    own.
    • For group projects, each member must write a one page explanation
    of their contribution to the project.
    • These projects will be assessed using the following guide:
    o Creativity
    o Inclusion of research
    o Factual accuracy
    o Adherence to guidelines

     You must submit a printed script of your play in addition to
    the filmed performance.
     You may use actors that are not members of CAMS 1102,
