Main Body – This is the body of your paper and should be 11 pt. font in Times New Roman, 1.5 line-spaced.
Abstract: The first page of your paper should start with a one-paragraph abstract of your paper, which briefly summarizes your line of research and tells the reader what you intend to communicate about your findings. Your thesis should be found within this abstract and be the final distilled single statement which articulates the purpose of your research. Your thesis should be emboldened.
Figures: You are welcome to use photos, graphs, or charts which you reference throughout the paper, but they should be thoughtfully located near the reference so the reader can quickly see them. Each figure should have a small caption in 9pt font, reading, “Fig. #_: *description of this figure, *citation.” These captions should be located immediately below the figure and not a part of the body of your paper.
Length: The length of the main body of your paper will be anywhere between 10-12 pages, not including the endnotes.
Margins: The main body of your paper should have 1″ margins all around.
Endnotes – You will need to cite your references throughout your paper in the form of endnotes. Every data point, metric, or finding that is not your own original synthesis of information must be cited with a reference.
