    General Concerns of Papers:
    Because many students have questions about the structure, format, and writing of papers the following guidelines have been developed to aid you in your endeavor.
    Mechanics of writing: Your paper will not be graded based on correct grammar or spelling. HOWEVER, well-written papers tend to receive better grades. It is therefore in your best interest to be concerned with spelling and grammar. These papers are a college assignment, and a freshman/sophomore college level quality is demanded. Paper formats, which you have used in your college level English courses, are acceptable. If you need to develop a style the MLA style is suggested. It is the format utilized by our English department. (APA format is also acceptable) If you have trouble in the area of grammar, spelling, or format I suggest starting and finishing the assignment early so someone can proofread your writing and typing.
