White Paper: Your Research Thesis
The time has come for you to produce a White Paper on your chosen research topic. For Thursday you’ll owe me a post which, like my sample White Paper “Why We Still Have Polio,” will be work-in-progress toward an actual paper, and will organize your thinking for your benefit and the benefit of early reviewers such as me.
Use the sample polio eradication white paper as a model for your own work. We’ll examine it in class today to clarify what yours should contain.
Publish your work as a new post in the A07: My White Paper category. Title it “White Paper—Author Name.”
