Academic writing is a conversation. You final paper must use five credible sources that support your argument or add to the conversation around your main point. Two of your sources must be peer reviewed journals. Two of your sources must be sources not listed on the library guide that you found through your own research.

Acceptable credible sources include:

The paper should keep in mind all of the basic conventions of academic writing learned in ENG 100 and 101. The paper should be thoroughly edited and proofread.

Final papers should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document (doc or docx.), or as a .rft file. Do not submit as a .pdf, a Microsoft works file, or a Word Perfect file.

If you think there may have been any sort of Blackboard error in submission of your paper, it is best to email your paper to your instructor as a backup so you will not be counted late.
