The page requirement must be met. If you turn in a 2-page paper, you have written only 50% of the required length, and are eligible for a maximum of 50% of the points.
A title page, documentation [endnote, parenthetic citation or in-source citation] and a bibliography [which do NOT count toward the minimum # of pages].
Use of 4-5 scholarly sources [only one may be an encyclopedia or a textbook], listed in an approved bibliographical format [APA, MLA, CMS are all acceptable (Pertains to second paper). See the ‘paper help’ page for a quick summary of in-text citation].
Only 1/3 of all sources used may come from the Internet. Online digital libraries, like Lexus/Nexus, Ebsco-Host and the Gale Network do not count toward this total, as these libraries are most likely to have quality sources. When in doubt: email me.
Proper documentation of information with appropriate citations throughout text.
Proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar throughout the paper, written in an academic style.
A title page consisting of: title of paper, student’s name, class name and crn, instructor’s name, and date of submission. Pictures and style are at writer’s discretion.
