Writing a Research Paper in Political Science

Even though artificial intelligence and other technologies are increasingly prevalent, research and writing are still core skills for political science students. The updated Fifth Edition of Writing a Research Paper in Political Science both takes students step-by-step through what they need to do at each stage to write a successful paper and also makes the case for why students need these skills at all in the age of AI -- and how to use AI as a coach.In addition to using updated examples of student topics that pull from both American government and international relations, this useful, class-tested guide also includes examples of actual student writing to show readers how someone "e;just like them"e; accomplished tasks while writing their papers. Practical summaries, calendars, exercises, and a series of handy checklists make this a must-have supplement for any writing-intensive political science course.
