Notes on the Format of the Essay
Your research paper is to be written in a formal, academic style. The third person narrative is the only acceptable style. Therefore, no “I” or “me” or “you” should be anywhere in your essay! Your essay must be written in your own words. Information must not be simply 'lifted' or copied from your sources. Summarize and paraphrase the ideas and identify the sources even if you have modified the wording. Give the sources of quotations.
PLEASE BE FOREWARNED THAT PLAGIARISM (COPYING DIRECTLY FROM A SOURCE) WILL RESULT IN A MARK OF ZERO
