Guidelines for Essays
MAKE IT EASY TO READ NOT TO DETAILED BUT STILL GETS THE POINT ACROSS The introductory paragraph establishes what the paper is about, what your question is,why this question is important, and gives the reader some idea of what you are going todo in the entire paper. The introductory paragraph has a thesis. The thesis is the argument the entire paper isgoing to be arguing for. The following is not a thesis: “This paper will look at differentfoundational principles of justice.” The following is an example of a thesis:“Utilitarianism provides a better foundational principle than libertarianism because(your reason here)” Your paper shows detailed knowledge of and reflection upon the readings. There aremany citations to a wide variety of the readings, both to avoid plagiarism and displayyour comprehension of the material. Better papers will go beyond what has beendiscussed in class or presented in the Powerpoints (specifically by going into the detailsof the readings). Your paper is not simply a summary of material of the readings/classes. Some summaryis important, but there must be a significant amount of analysis and evaluation that youbring to the table. Your paper considers both evidence for and against your thesis. You show why suchevidence or arguments are either wrong or of limited value in weakening your thesis. The paper is not an infodump. Each paragraph and sentence follows each other in anorganized, logical manner without abrupt shifts in thought. You are writing for a person who doesn’t know anything about the topic you are talkingabout. Don’t presume the reader has read what you read, or heard class lectures. The conclusion of the paper summarizes your main finding from the paper. In general, no quotations are allowed. The exception is only a quote of a term or phrasethat is especially novel or catchy or crucial to analyze (e.g. you are going to follow-upwith an extensive breakdown of the quote). Cite any information you get from elsewhere with a footnote or endnote. Err on the sideof more citations rather than fewer. Titles of books, movies, journals, and newspapers are italicized. Titles of chapters,essays, and newspaper articles are put in double quotes. All citations have a specific page number cited, not the entire page range of thedocument. (If there are no page numbers, manually count the page in the electronicdocument.) You have no extra spacing between paragraphs. The space for footnotes do not counttoward your page minimum. Do not play around with margins and font size just to reachthe page minimum. Conclude your paper with a conclusion that summarizes your argument.Make sure to cite by using footnotes.For citations to the texts in the class, use footnotes, which look like this.1 Note the number comes afterthe period at the end of the sentence. You use footnotes whenever you are citing facts or ideas that arenot your own. Typically, hitting CTRL+ALT+F will insert a footnote. Alternatively, go to the tab at the topof Microsoft Word under “References” or under “Insert” in older versions of MS Word; in Google Docs,go to the “Insert” tab where you will find the option to insert a footnote. If you are confused aboutinserting footnotes, try Googling “inserting footnotes Microsoft Word/Google Docs.”1 Author, Title, Where and When Work is Published, Page number if available.
