The required format is double-space Times New Roman 12-point (TNR-12pt) with 1-inch margins.
You can write it in whatever font and size pleases you, and convert to double-space TNR-12 pt in Word .doc when done.
A double-space TNR-12pt. page is about 250 words, so a 7-10 page paper is 1,750-2,500 words.
Include page numbers.
7 pages is the minimum, but you are not limited to 10.
Nevertheless, avoid filler and repetitions. Quality and clarity matter more than length. (I will reward a great paper that is 1,699 words. I won?t even know.)
Pro-tip: Tricks with letter spacing or format to make the text look longer will be seen & disliked. They create suspicion.
Provide a creative title that tells us what the paper is about, that sends an intriguing message, or that starts your story.
Choosing or changing a title as your paper evolves can be a good way to inspire yourself, focus your thoughts, and get through obstacles.
Section titles are acceptable and can perform the same functions of inspiration & organization.
No cover page.
A long header is unnecessary. Put your name, the date, and a title at the top of the first page, skip a line, then start. (That?s all it needs, but you can add the course title and instructor name if it kills you not to include these.)
In your paper, provide citations for everything that you are learning, paraphrasing, or quoting from other sources, in footnotes or in-text references.
Choose and learn one citation system (Chicago, APA, MLA, etc.) and apply it consistently throughout.
Truth is, all I really care about is Author-Title-Publication-Year-Page numbers, and the specific pages of cited material. (Other instructors may not agree.)
Don?t turn your Works Cited or footnotes into link farms. Remember this is a printed paper, so I can?t click on it. You may have reason to name websites, because they are publishers, but full links should only be for (usually recent) material that lives online only.
Plagiarism will be caught and punished, so don?t do it.
All quotations should make up no more than about 15-20 percent of the total paper length, preferably less.
The above is a rule of thumb. There are exceptions. For example, you may be using several quoted primary-source statements that you compare, analyze, and contextualize. That would be an allowable exception.
Quotations longer than four lines should be indented, block text, and single-spaced.
For secondary sources, paraphrase is better than quotation. Save quotations for the most catchy or famous phrases and statements.
