Need Help? Ask a Librarian
Welcome ENG 112 Students
The MCU Library is working with you in one instructional workshops to help you develop from searchers into researchers, because the kind of research in which you'll engage in at the University level is a much different variety than what you've done in the past.
As a scholar, you'll need to use new skills, test new strategies, investigate various angles, and engage thoughtfully in analysis of what you discover. Our goal is to assist you through your research process and highlight valuable resources for you to explore and include in your final ENG 112 Limited Research Paper.

Using outside sources to help you reach beyond your own ideas, please find a theme present in either the play or one of the novels and provide a critical analysis of the work in order draw meaningful conclusions about the central idea you choose to develop (Click and read more).
