General Instructions
The papers will require you to analyze texts (or films) closely; you do not need to consult secondary literature. I will assign detailed topics (there will be choices) well in advance of the due dates. If you want to pursue an alternative topic, you must discuss this with me in advance. The first paper is due on Thursday, October 13 (at the beginning of class), the second on Tuesday, December 6 (at the beginning of class). Papers not submitted on the due dates and times will be penalized a full grade for each day they are late.
Specific Guidelines
- Each paper is to be 5 full pages in length (double-spaced).
- Use 12 point type (Times or Times New Roman fonts).
- Use standard margins (i.e., 1 inch at Top and Bottom, 1.25 inches Left and Right.
- Papers must be free of spelling and grammatical errors.
- Quotations of 2 or more lines of text should be indented and single-spaced. [CLICK HERE FOR EXAMPLES OF TEXT CITATION]
- Cite source of quotation clearly by page or book/poem/line(s) numbers, as relevant, in parentheses (i.e. within the body of paper, not in footnotes).
- Cite only the required course textbooks and editions.
