Does The LSAT determine the success of students in Law School

Final paper: Since this is a survey course on research methods, the final paper entails a wide
range of choices. These choices depend on the interests of the students. This could be, for
instance, a career interest. The paper must include the following elements: 1) a specific subject
(capture a summary of the principle issue) and research question; 2) a short literature review of
prior research and a justification for your paper (why is this subject important); 3) a specific
research method (quantitative, qualitative, interpretive) of your choice; 4) a conclusion noting the
strengths and weaknesses with your research; and 6) at least five different sources you have
found on your own. The paper must be at least twelve pages in length not including references.
Please follow the structure on the syllabus: 12 Times New Roman font, double-spaced, and
default margins (do not squish the margins to get more space!). Remember that graphs, pictures,
table of contents, reference list, glossary, short abstracts (an abstract is not a requirement in the
paper) do not count as page space. Only writing counts toward that space. The subject is
completely open to your own interests.
In addition to writing a paper for a decent course grade, try developing your paper to further your
studies and help your career. The paper can address any issue of interest. Think of using your
paper as a sample paper for a job, internship, and/or graduate or law school. In a nutshell, do not
develop a paper for just the class, but possibly something for long-term use. Research methods
are a vital skill employees and post-graduate institutions desire. So make this paper useful for the
future!
