You are free to select a research question for this paper, but it must relate to either (1) pseudoarchaeology, or (2) more broadly a pseudoscientific claim. You should find a claim, identify the evidence that is offered in support of it, and then do your own research to evaluate the evidence and the claim. Your paper should be a minimum of 11 double-spaced pages (not including title page and references), be consistently formatted with a title page, citations, 12-point serif font, page numbers, and 1-inch margins. You should have substantive citations to at least 5 scholarly sources. You may cite readings used in this class, but you are expected to research the topic by finding and using other sources
All applicants go through a series of tests that check their level of English and knowledge of formatting styles. The applicant is also required to present a sample of writing to the Evaluation Department. If you wish to find out more about the procedure, check out the whole process.
