Homework: Week Three: The Research Report

Write a research report, formal or informal, using your most recent research trip for material. Don't forget that you may use an "Internet research trip" rather than a trip to a physical repository.

Include an example of a proof summary in your research report. This summary can be an itemized list of direct evidence, a memo note explaining your analysis of indirect evidence, or source-cited text analyzing and correlating several independently-created sources.
