Final Paper Guidelines

(papers are due Wednesday June 8th @ 12:00 midnight)

Paper=%35 of the overall grade  

**Papers should be around 5-8 pages double-spaced on an independently viewed film, researched and written on one’s own, with a particular theme critically analyzed, secondary sources citation OR you can write on your evaluation of the Arabic cinema as reflected in the movies you watched for this class.

**Do some library research (not just use of the Internet). Please reference your sources appropriately (3 sources at least including both primary and secondary sources.). All sources should be listed in a Bibliography at the end of the paper. When listing web sites, give the complete URL address in addition to the name of the site.

**Select the appropriate focus for your paper. Determine what elements to include. Review your paper after it is completed to be sure you have included enough detail to explain your thinking and your language is clear. Examine punctuation, spelling and format for consistency since mechanical errors make your ideas more difficult to understand.
