Description

All essays must use proper Chicago Manual of Style notations and a full bibliography with all sources listed.  You should rely on a mix of primary and secondary sources, relying exclusively on reference works will not be a successful strategy.   Part of your grade will be determined by your sources, their quality, and proper Chicago Style formatting.  You must have a bibliography. 

  • Final papers will be 3000-3500 words in length. Papers should be a word document, double-spaced, with standard 1-inch margins and a 12 point Times New Roman Font. Papers significantly shorter or significantly longer than 5-8 pages will be penalized.   Maps and images are permissible and can add clarity to the paper, but they will not count in the page count.   A bibliography page does not count in the required page count of the paper
