instructor. If this regimen is followed, consistency will result.
General Requirements:

Research papers may be either typed or neatly handwritten. If
using a computer the font must be 12, and you may not use the

“Make It Fit” function to arrive at the required number of pages.
1.All research and theme papers must be typed and double
spaced or neatly written (normal hand writing) so that they

can be easily read and graded.
2.Both typed and handwritten must use 1" margins on all four

sides. (The margins must be no more than one inch on all 4
sides) and the font a size 12 or standard for a typewriter.
(Those not in this format will be returned to be done

correctly).
3.If the paper is handwritten it should be written or printed

neatly and legibly. The same requirements as typing are to be
followed. (Do not use over sized hand writing, use your
normal handwriting).
4.Attention should be given to correct spelling, punctuation and

grammar. Investing in a good Dictionary and Thesaurus will
greatly assist the student in preparing research papers.

5.Unreadable papers or those not neatly done will be returned
to the administrator to be returned to the student to be redone.
6.Do not send in a paper that you used “make it fit” on the

computer to get the required number of pages. (Done on this
format will be returned to be redone correctly).
7.When a paper, for example, requires 3 pages, this means three

full pages of research (2½ is not acceptable). Do not use title,
your name, date and the like as part of the first page. A few
words on the last page does not make it a full page. The
required number of pages requested are to be full pages of

your work only. The title page and bibliography do not count
as part of the three (3) pages.
