Any format chosen however, must be used consistantly throughout the paper. Dr. Quinn's grading criteria is that equal weight is given to depth of insights and the use of sub-headings and the the quality of organization to which they lead. So is an inadequate number of up to date scholarly references. Length of paper is not a criteria, but depth and number of references are closely examined.
Many assignments require half or more of the references be recent.
Assignment of points is based on quality of performance by the entire group, so it varies. Dr. Quinn welcomes the chance to discuss your paper in his office, not in the moments prior to class.
