For the informal research essay, you should have the following:
– 3 – 4 typed, double-spaced pages.
– Written in Times New Roman, size 12 font.
– A clear thesis.
– Follow the past tense rules of grammar.
– Follow the rules of MLA or APA (check owl@purdue if you are not sure what goes with what style). This applies to more than just the in-text citations, so I’d recommend double checking what you have.
– A minimum of three sources (one being an academic journal) that are listed on a resource page that matches the citation style you are using.
