L3 British civilization. Research paper instructions November 2012
Each student in
the “régime général” will choose one of the subjects below to write a
research paper on.
- The research
paper must be handed in immediately after the Christmas holidays.
- The research
paper will be 1500 - 1600 words in length, plus the bibliography.
- The
bibliography must contain at least five books and five websites. They must be
listed according to the normal rules for bibliographies.
- Handwritten
work is not allowed. The research paper must be printed, and must use correctly
the normal rules of layout for university work (footnotes, italics etc). There will
be no spelling mistakes, as students will use automatic spellcheck programmes.
- Extreme care
must be used to avoid plagiarism. If you use more than five words together from
another source without saying where it comes from, this counts as copying.
- We will not be
studying these subjects in any great detail in class. I will however put some
links on my Teaching Blog to help you out a little. The address is

- Your research
paper must reflect the fact that historians have different opinions. It should
avoid simply giving a list of events, but should evaluate their importance.
- The research paper may be illustrated, if the illustrations add something to the argument (the same old pictures of Margaret Thatcher or Harold Wilson are not interesting).
Choose ONE of these
subjects
A) Did the
twenty five years after the Second World war really constitute a Golden Age in
Britain in almost every domain ?
B) Did Thatcherism
end in 1990?
