Welcome! This research guide was created for students in Dr. Rubenstein's Fall 2022 Eng. 101 class.
This guide is a customized resource for this assignment.
Your assignment is to write a persuasive research paper on Civil Disobedience that answers the question, "Is it ever permissible to break the law"?
You are to find five scholarly sources and integrate them into the text of your paper. A scholarly source contains commentary and analysis about a topic.
Citing your sources is an essential component of any research assignment. Therefore, your essay should include parenthetical (in-text) citations and a Works Cited page using MLA 9 style formatting.
If you have any questions about research and citations, don't hesitate to get in touch with me at rebecca.steere@sunywcc.edu.
