This type of an assignment, as I understand it, requires you to take a further step than just simply reading the required course material. Since you did not provide me with specific questions such as "how do I start writing this paper?", or "how would I be able to develop ideas for this essay?" I will start guiding you from the basic steps which have to do with answering those two questions I just provided for you.
Whenever you receive an assignment such as this, you want to definitely look for key words and concepts: the first word to find would be "library". Since it asks you to make trips to the library, that's the 1st step you must take. The purpose of visiting the library is so that you would be able to locate outside sources other than those from your textbooks.
For instance, since you're required to write about characterization, there are books in the library that would help you understand that term and expand on that term. So, the first steps to take would be either going to the library or using your library's website to start research. You might want to enter key word: "characterization". The libary is a good place to start working on this essay; if this step is not clear enough, you need to ask a librarian to help you because this is what research requires you to do. However, I have done a lot of research in my experiences, so I know how it works. (You need to go on to the library's homepage for sure to start this essay). There are also library research workshops available in your university. You need to ask the librarian for the available workshops (always free of charge) that are to take place soon.
