The paper should run between 3 and 5 pages, using 1-inch margins and Times New Roman 12 font. The word count should land somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 words.
TIPS
Do not repeat yourself, do not write a book report, and use good grammar and proper citations throughout. Elaborate the logic of the author’s argument using textual justifications. While you should not bring in external sources (i.e., secondary works and interpretations, websites, SparkNotes, etc.) at the expense of primary works, you are encouraged to provide historical and contemporary political situations to highlight the utility of the primary sources assigned. Engage the arguments with your own perspective. Be innovative, and show what is at stake in your argument.
