-Papers should have one inch margins on top, bottom, and sides (see sample page on course website).

-Your font should be standard default (Times New Roman, Courier, Colibri, etc.) and should be unbolded. Point size should be 11-12 (see sample page on course website).

-You do not need paper titles or cover pages. Type your name in the top right corner of your paper and begin your writing after hitting the enter key once!

-Do not separate paragraphs in your paper with more that double spacing (see sample page on course website).

-Do not type the current date on your papers or include course information (AMH2020, POS 2041, etc.).

 -You should use a bare minimum of two sources in a paper for this course. Dig deeper though--you should be using more sources to learn more about your topic and differing interpretations for events.
