Guidelines for all essays:

  • Include a title and your name on a single line at the top of your essay.
  • Indent paragraphs; do not double space between paragraphs.
  • Double space between lines; use 1” margins all around.
  • Use Times or Times New Roman Font; 12 point.
  • Short essays should be between 3–3.5 pages.
  • The essay should have a good, strong arguable thesis.
  • Do not quote the prompt. A good strong thesis will signal to the reader which prompt you are answering.
