(have to use all three texts to support your opinions)

  • When you cite from Ebrey, please include the title of the article you’re quoting, not just “Ebrey.” 
  • FORMAT: Your paper should have a meaningful title, which should appear on a separate title page with your name, the course number (HUM 530), and the due date. Please double space, number the pages and use 1” margin settings and a 12-point, easily readable typeface. Proofread carefully for errors in logic, organization, grammar, and spelling. Do not hand in your first draft--it should be a second draft at the very least.
  • SOURCES AND CITATION: This is NOT a research paper.  It’s a response paper.  In the humanities, you learn to make interpretive arguments based on your own responses to primary sources, including novels, poetry, film, visual arts, music, and other forms of creative expression. Therefore, in your papers you should quote or refer to only materials assigned in the course, which you should cite very briefly (author, title and page numbers only, in parentheses in the body of the text.) Do not include quotations in your minimum word count, and do not use other sources, whether they are print or online.  I will not accept your paper if you do.
