Format for written assignments:  The papers you write for this class should be computer-printed, double-spaced, titled, paginated, stapled, and proofread carefully. Fonts should be set at 12- or 14-point in a readable script such as Times New Roman. Use regular weight typing paper (no onion skin or erasable bond), size 8 1/2 by 11 or A4.  Double space and leave a one-inch margin on all sides of each page.  This gives you room to write in corrections and space for me to make comments.  Do not justify the right margin.  Attach a separate title page to each assignment.  It should have the following information on it:

Papers are due in class on the designated date; printer problems and other technical difficulties are not acceptable excuses for failure to hand in a paper on time. To avoid such common problems, you should print out and proofread the final draft of your paper well before (i.e., at least an hour prior to) class time. Absence and/or excuses on the day a paper is due are not acceptable; however, if you have a legitimate reason for being unable to turn a paper in on the due date, please raise your concerns in advance of that date.

It is especially important that you proofread your work after you have printed out a final draft. If errors appear on this draft, correct them and reprint the paper before handing it in.

Plagiarism will not be tolerated
