Grade RequirementYou must score a 70% or better on your final paper to pass this course.FormatFollow MLA guidelines precisely in both the body of the paper and the Works Cited page.The final paper must be typed, double-spaced, 12pt font (Times new Roman or Arial), 1” margins all around, single-spaced heading that includes your name, the date, the class, your instructor’s last name, and the word count.

LengthThe paper’s body must be between 1500-1750 words in length to receive a passing grade.The word count is based on the essay only. Do not include the heading, title, or works cited page. ContentThe foremost question to keep in mind while researching, taking notes, and writing is “why is this issue related to income inequality important to discuss?” The thesis must be argumentative with both an assertion about some topic related to income inequality that indicates your reasons and answers the “so what?” question.The thesis and topic sentences must develop a unified and coherent argument.Each main point must be relevant to the thesis and support your positions/claims.Develop each main point with specific details and/or examples, and include commentary that shows, illustrates, or explains how the details and/or examples relate to and support the thesis. Remember to use your notes, handouts, prior essay comments, and textbooks for help. Sources5-8 cited sources are required to receive a passing grade.Reference material such as dictionaries and encyclopedias are not counted as sources, although you may use them.Internet sources, such as .com, .org, and .net, are not acceptable sources unless you submit a CRAAP test on them. At least 3 sources must be from scholarly journal articles found through databases such as EBSCO Host, CQ Researcher, or GALE Opposing Viewpoints. At least 1 source must be from a scholarly book (Using $2 A Day would fulfill your book requirement.)At least 1 source must be a government document (.gov websites count for this)At least 1 source must be used for refutation/counterargument.So, although I require FIVE specific sources , that leaves you with up to THREE additional sources, which can be from the categories mentioned above and/or from reputable news sources.
Citing SourcesEach of the sources listed on the Works Cited page must be cited in the paper.A source referenced with an in-text citation must be listed on the Works Cited page.Use signal phrases and credentials (TAG – Title, Author, Genre) to introduce sources the first time they are cited.Use correct parenthetical citations – see the MLA section of your Academic Writer text for help.No more than 20%-25% of the paper should be quotations, paraphrase, or summary. If your rough draft exceeds this percentage, make sure your final submission uses more succinct quotations and/or cuts unnecessary or ineffective citations. Use quotations only when the language is such that a paraphrase or summary weakens its effect. You should have instances of all three citations in your paper. Dropped in long quotes are ineffective and will greatly reduce your grade.Plagiarism and Late PapersAny student who plagiarizes any part of the research paper will receive an “F” on the assignment and will probably fail the course.No late final research papers will be accepted
