Paper Guidelines:

You will need a cover page with your name, the course name, and your title. You will also need to include a reference page. You must use any acceptable format for your citations.

 Excluding your cover page and references, the paper itself must be 7-8 pages, double-spaced, using 12-point font. Use normal margins (1’’ all around). But because you are also to submit a cover page and your references, the number of pages you submit will exceed 8. Begin the paper near the top of the first page… no need to space down several times. Only the title of the paper and your name are necessary on the first page of the paper before you begin the actual paper. You will lose points for failure to comply with these guidelines.

Due Date: June 27, 12 noon. Submit final paper via the tests tab

 You may turn in your paper early if you would like but I am not accepting any late papers. If you do not submit your paper on time, you will receive a 0. No excuses.
