Apr 30 at 1:02 comment added J. Murray @Hurricane Yes, it's still true. Do you remember how to compute a line integral? You first define a parameterized curve $\vec R(t)$ such that $\vec R(0)$ is the starting point and $\vec R(T)$ is the ending point (in this case, they are the same point, since the curve is closed). Then $\int \vec F(\vec R) \cdot \mathrm d\vec R \equiv \int_0^T \vec F\big(\vec R(t)\big) \cdot \dot{\vec R}(t) \mathrm dt$.
