benefit (if any) to “greening” a datacenter. I expect you to conduct the research necessary and
cite your sources to successfully make your point. Keep in mind that this is a research paper and
not personal narrative. Be careful not to get too broad and vague; I am looking for a clear and
concise argument to support your thesis.
I will grade your paper on the content and on the technical elements, page numbering, fonts etc.
It is important to fully support your argument and yes, spelling and grammar matter.
