Please use a standard format for your paper, such as MLA or Turabian style. The text of your paper should be at least 4 full double-spaced pages in length, written in a standard font, such as Times New Roman or Garamond, size 12, with 1-inch margins. You can use either parenthetical citations or endnotes, but do not use footnotes. Number your pages. These topics are meant to be open-ended, but students should incorporate any relevant readings that have been assigned as of the due date of the paper. I also encourage you to use outside sources (the final topic will require outside research). Cite any source you use in-text. If you want to use a website as one of your sources, you must obtain my written consent after I have reviewed the website, prior to the due date of the papers. Per the syllabus, failure to do so will result in my returning the paper to you, ungraded, with the request to remove that source and any information obtained from that source from your paper.
