Please format the paper in Times New Roman, 12pt font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins. It should be 6-7 pages long.
You should NOT use outside sources.
You’d use ONLY lecture notes I’d attach later on, or textbook I’d give you the pdf later on.
Please use in-text citations for the lectures, with different dates as relevant. The paper should include citations as needed, but most of your sentences should be your own arguments. If there are a few sentences in a row that are paraphrasing lecture notes, you can just put the cite after the final sentence. e.g. (Lecture, date)
You do not need to turn in a works cited page; in-text citations are fine.
