• Be about half a page (single-spaced) of coherent prose (it should read like an independent essay);
• Use lead-ins followed by brief partial quotes which are integrated into your own sentences;
• After all quoted material use an in-text citation;
• Be free of grammar and mechanical errors;
• Use a full citation for a title [See Item 35 Article form an Online Database of Subscription Service, page 386 of the Everyday Writer for the proper form to use];
• Use Times New Roman 12 pt font.
