The class projects are to be word processed, size 12 font, double spaced with one inch margins around the page (default). Papers will be written in paragraph form with no bullet points or numbering. Your responses should be thorough and scholarly. Avoid jargon and street language as you are completing each of the responses to these questions. For instance, “cop” is generally unacceptable, “police officer” is preferred. A person may be “mentally ill” or “legally insane”, not “nuts”.

Attachments that cannot be opened or are blank are considered late. Papers should be 350+ words in length (total for all topics) and shall reference the text formally at least twice.
