Final Paper Guidelines:

Per our class discussions and feedback regarding your papers, we expect papers to be approximately 25-35 pages, double-spaced 12-pont font. You should use proper citations, including a ‘references’ or ‘works cited’ page. Though your topics vary widely, all papers should have a clear problem space and a primary argument (in some cases there are sub-arguments– but there should always be an over-arching argument). You may find it useful to ask yourself these questions as you review your final paper: How well do you support your argument? Does the paper show critical thought, evaluation, and research in the topic area? Is the paper well-written? Is the paper well organized?

The paper is due on May 12 by 4 pm. Leave 3 printed, stapled, copies of the paper in Coye’s mail box at the front office, 102 South Hall.
