Week 10 Assignment - Thesis Statement

This is your Week 10 Assignment, or as I like to think of it as you Week 1 of REAL Capstone!  A big part of this assignment is having your first interaction with your advisors.  Here you can find a link to the advisor rubric sheet that goes with all your assignments (there are two on one page).  http://www.scribd.com/doc/72577880/Capstone-Rubric-Sheet-With-Advisor  Remember that you both (your advisor and you) have parts to fill out on your rubric sheet.

You have two weeks to complete this assignment because of our numerous holidays.  Your Week 10 Assignment is due on Monday, November 28th.  This assignment will include several things:
  1. Your Statement of Purpose
  2. Your Thesis Question
  3. Your Thesis Statement
  4. Why your Thesis is a good thesis statement and how it passes the "test" (see the sheet I gave you)
  5. Should be a minimum of 2 pages, include citations from your chosen style (APA, MLA or Chicago)
  6. 2 sources minimum 
*Reminder that all sources related to your topic must be academic sources!
