Please number the pages. Be sure to make a copy of your paper before turning it in. All quotations and information taken from your readings must be cited. If you aren't sure whether to cite or not, consult the Academic Honesty handout that you received in your Tutorial. Because citing the sources of your information is an essential part of scholarship, failure to provide adequate citations will result in the reduction of your grade.
Papers are due in class on the day assigned.
Except in extreme cases, extensions will not be granted within 24 hours of the due date. Late papers without a justifiable excuse will be penalized one-third of a grade per day for the first week following the due date. Book critiques are due three weeks after the presentations. Part of the evaluation may involve proposing an alternate interpretation of the evidence if you disagree with the author's. Remember, your job is not to prove or disprove the author's argument, but to evaluate it as a historian would.
