Format: 11 or 12-point font; Times or Times New Roman. Use your referencing style of choice for in-text citations and bibliography (Chicago Style, APA, APSA, etc.) but be consistent.
A range paper: This is a paper that offers a clear and compelling argument that tries to analyze, clarify, criticize, and/or compare one text/author/argument with another. It moves beyond the terminology used by the author/reading to offer an explanation and a synthesis of what the author means by the concepts they use, and how they connect these core concepts (such as: human nature, human flourishing, freedom, equality, happiness, progress, etc.) and how do these connections relate to those laid out by other authors. An A-paper may also be one that offers a criticism of the author’s argument, though it must provide a fair and accurate portrayal of that argument and recognize how the author might potentially respond to that criticism.
In terms of structure, a solid A paper should start with an introductory paragraph that outlines its major question/ thesis. All subsequent paragraphs should start with a topic sentence and conclude with a sentence that ties them up to the more general thesis of the paper. The concluding paragraph should wrap up your argument and reassert it in light of your discussion of the topic at hand.
B range paper: This is a paper that provides a solid and accurate summary (i.e., not an analysis or a synthesis) of the material at hand.
C range paper (and less): This is either an incomplete paper or a paper that provides a poor (a very general or incoherent) summary of a topic. This may also be a paper that is riddled with grammatical or spelling errors that prevent the reader from grasping its core argument.
use reputable sources and the King James Bible for references. Speicifcally Mathew where Jesus speaks.
