An Exercise in Style and Format of Scholarly Papers Professor Deborah Smith All scholarly papers, including the papers that you will write in this class, are expected to fall within a range of acceptable styles and formats. If you do not already own one, it would be a good idea for you to pick up a manual of style. I recommend Kate L. Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertations, 5th ed. The format of the paper generally concerns the size and font of your type, the size of margins, etc. Use a legible font of not more than 12 point and not less than 10 point.
Paragraphs are to be left justified only.
Do not include a separate title page with your paper. If you wish to title your paper, include the title, appropriately capitalized, in bold face as the first line of your paper. This title should be single spaced but should be separated from the body of the text by a blank line. Your name should occur only at the very end of your paper. Do not put a long quotation is double quotes.
