Top Ten Research Paper Questions

It's inevitable--the dreaded research paper assignment. A few of my colleagues and I were talking about the silliest questions we have received during the process. Here are the top ten.

1. "Here's my Works Cited page, but what do I put on the Rough Draft?"
2. "Does my title have to be about my topic?"
3. "Do I need a thesis?"
4. "Are we supposed to do this at home?"
5. "What's 'the sis?'"
6. "Do we have to use our sources for our paper?"
7. "You mean, we have to write about one of the topics you gave us?"
8. "Do we have to type it?"
9. "Do we have to read the sources?"
10."Who is going to read this paper?"
