Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
*Elon Musk (could be a good one)
Outline something like this:
A. Intro summary paragraph on what it is you are trying to tell the reader and how you are going to do it. (Exec Summary-like) “My goal in this paper is to….”
B. Define your terms—”Great”, “power” (use metrics), time fame, ect
Your definition of great powers does not need to be restricted to states. If you think another actor (whether an individual, NGO, organization, or corporation) qualifies for inclusion, this is fine. The important thing is that you reach this conclusion in a systematic way.
C. Use applicable readings to support your thesis…or any other sources
D. Hard-hitting concluding paragraph that re-captures what you promised in intro paragraph. “In this paper I have shown….”
Graphs, pics, maps ok…do not count in word count
Your grade will be based on the following 4 areas:
How clearly you answer the questions presented (good writing will matter)
How plausible you define and provide metrics for your terms
How persuasive in defending your conclusions
