The paper should be typed, double spaced, and between 5-7 pages in length. There must be notes where appropriate, a bibliography, and a title page. Try not to fill your bibliography with the same type of source. For example, newspaper articles, weekly magazines such as Time, on-line encyclopedias, and the Internet are good for obtaining general background information, but should not be relied upon exclusively. Your main sources should be scholarly, in-depth analytic works.
