No, but I did have a general idea on a subject. I have the main book and am just researching as I go. I am enrolled in 6 classes and work two part-time jobs so it's doable.

You need a minimum of 25 sources don't you? Sounds like a lot of work if you are unfamiliar with a subject because it means researching a lot of material first in order to properly write about the content.

I have no issues to find sources and that is the easy part for me. Writing the paper takes the most time but you just have to do a little each day and build upon your work.

My course had no such requirement.

I could have sworn I read that on here. How many sources are actually required? I remember seeing tons on some of the example papers I saw.

Mine had a 25 (or was it 20?) source requirement, but I took it a few years ago and I believe they have tweaked it a lot since then. I have no idea what the requirements now look like.

I see 25 pages, but nothing about number of sources. I certainly didn't have 25 sources.

Thanks, couldn't find anything regarding the number of sources to use, just minimum number of pages.
