Analysis Paper|summary of the citation policy
Use the Source’s Title; For Unit and Final Papers, Get creative)
Indentation should start here by pressing tab. If you haven’t already noticed, the font is
Times New Roman size 12. Also, I want you to double space your paper, BUT do not add a
space before or after your paragraphs. Lastly, 1 inch margins and page number at the bottom.
As for citation, I’ve sort of changed my mind (sorry if this throws your world into utter
chaos): Only cite when you are using direct quotes. This should really only apply to the primary
sources that you use in your Unit and Final papers (I do not want you to directly quote me or the
textbook for your papers- it’s lazy and you are better than that). You will directly quote the
source in you Primary Source papers, but that is part of the analysis so there is no need to cite it.
When you cite the primary source, use whatever format you know (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).
Quick summary of the citation policy:
Primary Sources Analysis Papers- No Citations
Unit Papers- Cite Primary Sources and Textbook Quotes (no quoting lecture)
Final Paper- Cite Primary Sources and Textbook Quotes (no quoting lecture)
Finally, because I completely forgot to go over it: Turning in the written assignments.
You have to, absolutely HAVE TO, submit written assignments to Beachboard’s dropbox by
5pm on the due date AND bring a hard copy to class. I’m using dropbox to make sure you are
not plagiarizing and I’m using the hard copy to grade and write comments.
