It
shall be typed, double-spaced and contain a TITLE.
DOUBLE-SPACE
means exactly that – NOT triple space between
paragraphs.
All
pages must be NUMBERED.
Citations from Kort or a reference we are using in class need not be formalized. These
citations may simply be a page number within parentheses (Kort, p. 28).
Where a page citation is at the end of the sentence, the citation itself MUST be
followed by
the sentence-ending period (as the citation is part of that sentence).
Although newspapers, including the NY TIMES use single quotes, this style is
unacceptable in formal writing. Double quotes must be used so that a quotation
within a quotation may be set off by single quotes. “I hate this course because
‘life is
difficult enough…’ without this kind of crap.”
Commas and period are located WITHIN the quotation marks – NOT outside of them
Mary said”
I hate this course.”
Observe the rules of formal writing – NO contractions.
Spell-check your document but realize that if you do not know the
difference
between
there/their or to/too/two – such items will not be corrected by any spell-check
system.
