While not always the standard method of acquiring knowledge, these tools can provide an overview of a topic that stimulates further research. This assignment allows you to address a particular topic, practice writing skills, and hone research skills that will be necessary in future academic endeavors.

Your paper must be typed in a Microsoft Word (or compatible) document, be double-spaced, be in 12-pt. Times New Roman font, and have 1-inch margins.
In the event the video covers more than 1 specific topic, choose 1 on which to focus your bibliography.
