FINALPAPERINSTRUCTIONS.docxFINAL PAPER INSTRUCTIONS
Your Final Paper assignment has two parts: Part I: Title, Introductory Paragraph, Thesis statement, Outline of Paper, and List of Possible Sources
Part II: Finished final draft of the paper. Use proper MLA, APA, or CMS style and documentation guidelines; choose whichever style you know best. Remember that any words, phrases, or passages that are directly copied from another author or source must be in quotation marks. If you are paraphrasing the words, ideas, or arguments of author authors, you do not need quotation marks, but you must still cite the author or source in the body of the text. Simply including a citation at the end of a long passage or at the end of the paper is not sufficient. Please note: Failure to cite sources constitutes plagiarism, the consequences of which are serious. If in doubt, cite!
· Your paper must cite the work of at least four philosophers studied during the course; there is no upper limit on the number of sources you may use.R
