proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and
grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect
your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical
mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before
handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend
proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to
uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface.
Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to
read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to
compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-
spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between
letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are
unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly
formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each
page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If
it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
