Formatting:
-
Please utilize MLA style when citing sources. For information on citing using MLA, access the Purdue OWL MLA Formatting and Style guide. Here is an example of a well-written paper using MLA citations.
-
Typed/printed, double-spaced, 1″ margins. Change them in “Page Setup” on the “File” menu.
-
Paragraphs indented inch at left; do not separate paragraphs by extra blank lines.
-
Quotations of four lines or less (approximately 50 words) should be integrated into the text; longer quotations should be formatted as block quotations.
-
All sources must be cited. Avoid USING Wikipedia and other online study guide websites, such as Shmoop; however, if you use them, be sure to cite them appropriately. Instead, use eCore textbook materials, lecture notes, introductions, discussion postings, and any sources accessed from GALILEO for outside reference.
-
Your essay should have a specific title – one that suggests what is the most interesting or important about what you have to say.
