Paper Writing

[macwilkin]

If you were to consider a paper on the evolution of the kilt, from great kilt to x-kilt. You have Matt's information from the Tartan Museum, numerous web sites talk on the construction of a kilt as well as the information here. Start with the needs of and benefits of the great kilt. Ease of construction, sew two pieces of cloth together and you have a blanket, rain coat, and day to day wear all in one. The industrial age bringing on the need for the short kilt and then the recent changes from pockets and materials in today "modern" kilts.

Most if not all of the resources are on line and can be obtained in comfort of your dorm room.

Most instructors want a wide variety of sources, not just Internet ones. It's been my experience as a librarian at the school that beserkerbishop attends that most of the instructors here ask their students for a variety of sources -- books, periodicals, etc.

A paper on the kilt is not impossible, but I would advise him to use more than just the Internet.

Regards,

It's not kilt related but my daughter once wrote a paper researching the disease behind the "Black Death" in Scotland. There is evidence to suggest that it may, in fact, have been anthrax and not the bubonic plague.
