STRUCTURING YOUR PAPER

A few words about structuring your paper:

A good paper is one that is built around a clear structure, so you should outline the main points of

your paper before you start writing. It’s easier to overhaul your outline than it is to overhaul a fully

written paper, so spend some time thinking about the structure of your paper before you launch

into the writing.

Your paper should have:

A clear introduction

A body (in which you flesh out your analysis of rhetoric, audience, artifact, and

context)

A conclusion (in which you summarize your argument and findings and “open” the

paper to consideration of broader themes).

WRITING YOUR PAPER

A few words about WRITING your paper:

I require an “introductory paragraph.” It must introduce the topic, state the main

argument of the paper, set forth the plan by which the paper unfolds, and state the

paper’s conclusion. In brief, after having read the first paragraph, your reader should

know precisely what the paper is about, its main claims, how it unfolds, and where it will

end up.

Write the paper in coherent paragraphs. Each paragraph should flow naturally and

logically from the previous paragraph, and on to the next paragraph, following a clear

train of analysis.

Good writing is clear writing. Write in simple, declarative sentences. Use the active

voice.

Feel free to quote from books, articles or experts, but do not waste space with very

lengthy quotations – briefly paraphrase these passages instead.

A few words about acknowledging and citing sources:

Every time you use somebody else’s ideas or words, you must acknowledge the

source of the information (unless the information is common knowledge).

You may acknowledge these sources by using footnotes, endnotes, or in-text notes.

Don’t get hung up on details of citation style: what really matters is (1) that you cite your sources in

such a way that readers can identify your sources and check your facts, and (2) that you

use the same citation style throughout the paper. (When

citing Internet sources that do not have printed equivalents, identify the author,

document title, Internet address, and the date that you retrieved the document.)

Append a bibliography at the end of the paper, and include all the sources in APA

style that you used in writing the paper.

Review the student handbook for plagiarism statement and requirements.

SUBMITTING YOUR PAPER

When you have completed your paper, re-read it for clarity, grammar, spelling and
