PAPER: Each student will prepare a class paper with seven numbered pages of text, double-spaced, plus title page and bibliography, on a topic of his or her choice. Instructor’s approval of topic is required, however, and timely preparation of the paper is encouraged. All papers will be submitted on 20 April, and in no event will this deadline be extended. The quality of the paper will determine twenty percent (20%) of the final grade. The paper can be written in English or Spanish. On the bibliography, at least eight printed sources (books or scholarly articles) must be included. No internet sites may be used. No encyclopaedias of any kind may be used as a source. Only ONE of the sources used in class may be used as a bibliographic source. The printed sources may include online scholarly journals accessible through JSTOR and/or EBSCO, both of which are databases accessible through our Library website. Students who are unsure about the scholarly status of any source should check with instructor. All sources cited in the text should be included in the bibliography. Text pages will be numbered (1-7). Use Times New Roman font, 12 point. Do not use quotes, just paraphrase and cite your source. Make sure you leave no extra space between paragraphs, and that you transition smoothly from one paragraph to the next. Avoid contractions (e.g. can’t, won’t) and first-person pronouns (e.g. I, me).

Each bibliographic source must be cited in the text in the following way:
(Author Year: Page Number). e.g. (Carlsen 1997:102) (Lieberman and Shea 1994:300)
(Weston et al. 1995:503)
Papers that do not cite all their sources in the text in the way shown above will not receive full credit.
The following format is required on the bibliography page (i.e., it is not MLA or APA). The Writing Center may ask you which format you are using; you can indicate that the format is shown here in the syllabus, and it is neither MLA or APA.:
