Your papers should be in MLA format: The basics: One-inch margins, 12-point font (Times New Roman), double-spacing at 0 point (you will usually need to change this since most Word programs default to 8 or 10-point spacing), name and page number in header top right, informational header on first page only top left, in-text citations when appropriate, title on first page, works cited page. Nothing underlined. Nothing in bold. No other font sizes. No other fonts but the one suggested above (particularly comic sans). No title pages. No extra spacing after/before paragraphs or sentences. Essays should be 6-7 pages long (not including citation page) and incorporate at least 4-5 different sources of scholarly information (e.g., governmental publications, academic journals/books, etc.). (NOTE: Newspapers and magazines may be used, but they are NOT considered scholarly/academic resources and will not count toward the required source requirement). You should strive to find articles from the past decade. All referencing information should be available there.
This is a formal paper-use proper grammar, no contractions, no slang, avoid "passive voice," etc. For more information on the usage of "active/passive voice,".
USE THIRD PERSON - this means do not write using I, us, we, you, your, etc. -Your writing should be succinct, without errors, and sole-authored. Your writing should flow smoothly from sentence to sentence and from paragraph to paragraph (use appropriate transitions)- proofread carefully to assure that this happens. If it "sounds" wrong, it probably is.
