ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly
rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a
lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with
numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your
paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary.
Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors.
Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12
point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with
small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the
recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large
type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between
lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding”
to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument. Discussion: Financial responsibility of the patient
