  Response Paper

 

This packet details the steps necessary to produce a response paper that may be required for work in various disciplines, including literature, history and the humanities. This packet is not intended to replace instructor guidelines and should not be used in that manner. The packet’s intended use is as a supplement to classroom instruction in creating an effective response paper. Therefore, it contains only general information that must be tailored to fit specific guidelines as required by your discipline and by your instructor.

 

This packet is subdivided into five sections:

 

I. General Information States what a response paper is and what purpose it serves.

 

II. Process Gives step-by-step instructions on how to get started on your response paper.

 

III. Format Gives a description of the format of a typical response paper.

 

IV. Checklist Allows you to review your completed response paper and assure that it follows all necessary guidelines.

 

V. Resources A list of helpful resources used to compile this packet is provided so that you may obtain further information on the topic.
