High School College Prep Research Paper Writing

This eight-week course is designed to equip students to write a college-level research paper, from the initial stages of developing a topic or thesis, through the research and note-taking process, to a revised and polished final draft. Students in this class will be held to higher standards and more rigorous feedback than in our basic Research Paper Writing Workshop. 

Note: The nature of Research Paper Workshops makes them valuable to retake as often as you like. By selecting a different paper topic each time, students will benefit from multiple experiences with these courses. We recommend college-bound students complete no fewer than three formal research papers in their high school years.
