You are required to conduct additional research on your topic. Topic Exploration 1 must include a minimum of two current, scholarly academic sources. For Topic Exploration 1, the textbook can be included as one of the two minimum required sources but should not be the only source of supporting material for your exploration of your selected topic. For most papers/topics, “current” would typically mean roughly the last ten years, however, some topics might warrant older sources. Locate scholarly or academic sources, which will be the general expectation. However, some topics might be so current that the only available sources might not be found in scholarly/journal type sources. So, the requirement for current, scholarly, academic sources could vary given topics selected. All papers require credible sources. Make sure that you have a minimum of two references.
