Guidelines for papers

• Papers are to be double spaced, MS Word’s default margins, and 12 pt. Times New Roman font in MS Word format.
•  A cover page must be included but does not qualify as one of the minimum pages
• Please include the following on the cover page:
• Your name
• Whether the submission is paper #1, #2 or #3
• The date of submission
• The course title (eg. POS 220) 

• At the top of all pages, the student is to provide a header with his or her name as it appears on the class roster, the assignment number and the date of the submission, e.g.: John Doe, Paper #1, June 24 and a page number in a footer.
• You may use any writing format (APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, etc…) that you are comfortable with but you should be consistent.
• Write your essay using MS Word and use the “Upload Files” tab to attach your word document. You may, if necessary, use another standard word processing program but understand that I will use MS Word to open your assignments so your program must be compatible. It is your responsibility to submit your assignments in a compatible format.
• You may use both the textbook and / or any outside resources that you feel are appropriate but all referenced materials must be cited in standard MLA or APA format.
• Wikipedia is not to be cited as a source although you may go to the sources that they cite and use them.
