Introduction Section Rubric
In this assignment you will draft your first version of the introduction section of your research proposal. It should consist of 4 parts and be no longer than 1 page in total. A good introduction states the main research problem and thesis argument. What precisely are you studying and why is it important? How original is it? Will it fill a gap in other studies? Never provide a lengthy justification for your topic before it has been explicitly stated. Utilize the example posted to craft your own introduction section.
