RESEARCH PAPER RULES AND REQUIREMENTS 1. The research paper has a maximum possible score of 100 points. 2. The late paper policy is on the course syllabus. 3. The term paper must be done in a 12-point font, like the font in this very document. 4. Margins should be 1 inch at the top, sides, and bottom. Double space the lines. Also, make a title page. 5. Use the Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations; MLA; or Chicago Manual of Style for further guidelines on writing a term paper. 6. Footnote or end note philosophy books or articles on your subject to back-up your arguments. 5-10 citations from three to five different works should suffice for the paper. Use no religious books like The Bible, Koran, Talmud, Upanishads, etc. Only scholarly sources allowed–books and/or journal articles that are actually in print (not Wikipedia!). You may use your textbook for one source/two citations for each paper. 7. No shorter than 1000 words, but no longer than 1250 words (plus a title page, end notes page [if there are neither footnotes per se, nor MLA-style citations placed parenthetically in the text itself], and a works cited page) is the length guideline for the paper. 8. The instructor will answer your questions about and approve your topic for each paper. But do not wait to ask the instructor for help at the last minute. 9. Attempt to prove your thesis. The paper is neither a biography nor a book report. The paper should be a position/research paper.
