Your paper should be at least three pages and no more than five typed double-spaced pages long. Please see me if you want to write a longer paper. You should use either APA (American Psychological Association), Chicago or MLA (Modern Language Association) or APSA style sheet (I prefer parenthetical citations, but footnotes or end notes are also acceptable forms). For those using Word, please use Times New Roman font at size 11 or 12, Arial font at size 10 or 11, or Courier New font at 10 or 11. Your paper should include at least four non-web-based (referred) sources (academic books or scholarly journal articles). Once you have meant this source requirement minimum, you may use web-based sources to support your argument. You may use the course textbook as sources provided that you cite it properly. See the below on how to recognize and cite referred journal articles.
