Term papers should be aboutten full pages long, assuming double-spacing and twelve-point, standard-sized font.In addition to citing readings from class, you are required to cite at leastthree more sources.Wikipedia, dictionary, and encyclopedia entries arenotacceptable as sources. You may find sources via carefully-crafted Google searches, but I recommend also searching online databases like Lexis-Nexus and JSTOR.
You are also strongly encouraged to include graphic organizers asappendices to your paper: these do not count toward your page limit but they add useful information.Appendices may include maps, charts, graphs of data, and photographs, among other things. You may format your paper based on MLA,Chicago, or APA style: your choice, just be consistent and cite your sources.
