[Confused]

I've just never written one.

How do I format it? The stupid APA manual has no information on it. [Mad]

It's due Monday.

Hmmm.. is there a standard format? The only proposals I've ever done, even for big-time papers, have been informal abstracts.

In other words, I'm unqualified to answer but feel the egotistical need to say something anyway [Smile]

Dear Mackillian,

Will you marry me?

Well, I guess that doesn't quite make a half page.

Darn.

I think the sexy part is definitely key.

I've never been held to a particular format for a paper proposal. Basically, my approach has always been to state what my topic will be and do a paragraph on my reasons for choosing that topic. If you already know what your thesis will be - the position you expect to take on the topic or what you intend to show in writing the paper - you might want to include that, as well.
