Paper I

CS 102

60 pts., due Oct. 12

Your paper will be graded using the following criteria:

1. Spelling and grammar. Since you now know how to use spell and grammar checks, the spelling and grammar in your paper should be flawless.

2. Appropriate formatting:
   1. 1 inch margins, all around. Doublespaced. The paper should be 4--5 pages in length. Indent the first line of each paragraph by 1/2 inch. The body of the text should be left- and right-justified.

   2. Centered title and author name. These should be in a font different from the body font and should be a larger point size. Don't use a separate title page.

   3. Page numbers in the footer and the paper title in the header (except on the first page)

3. Substantiation of position. I don't particularly care what position you take on an issue, but it must be substantiated through a valid supporting argument. I prefer to see papers in which a position is taken rather than papers which merely report facts.

4. References. You should cite at least five online references. The proper format for an online reference is:

   Author/editor. Title of Print Version of Work. Edition statement (if given). Publication information (Place of publication: publisher, date) (if given). Title of Electronic Work. Medium. Information supplier. Available protocol (if applicable): Site/Path/File. Access date.
