①A research paper,②assigned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by
an instructor, ①leads you beyond classroom, beyond the texts for classes and into a process ③where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times.
本句是一个复合句，可以分为三个部分理解：主句①是A research paper leads you beyond...,beyond...and into a process。
谓语动词leads后有多个并列的介词短语。
而②assigned in a course and checked at...instructor是过去分词作定语修饰a research paper,同时也是插入语；可以看作是省略了which are的定语从句。
最后，在a process后有③where引导的定语从句修饰process。
