Essay about Airbus (abstract and outline provided)
1. Six (6) pages or so Double-spaced. I’m not looking for the amount of the content but the structure, grammar, and flow of the paper.
2. Correct grammar and sentence structure, as discussed in the Strunk & White.
3. Structure of the paper. This is why an outline is a good place to start. You’ll want to have:
a. an introductory paragraph which set the stage for the topic in general and specifically as to the content of the paper.
b. the body of the paper should contain the specific issues or points about the general topic that you mentioned in the introductory paragraph.
c. a concluding paragraph that re-summarizes the topic.
d. the best papers will contain a “hook” in the introductory paragraph–something to spark the reader’s interest. Also, something similar in the concluding paragraph.
e. there should be appropriate paragraph breaks.

You 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.
