All pages, except for the title page, should be numbered. You must proofread your paper. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors.
Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. Staple your paper in the upper left-hand corner. Alternatively, use a binder or paper clip. Please do not put your essay in a special folder or plastic binder as these make it more difficult to read and grade your paper.
