Papers should be 10 pages or 2,500 words, double-spaced.
Papers may deal with any topic in the broad field of environment and health; students should chose their own topics, and may consult with the professor or TA in doing so, and should get their topic approved by the professor before starting to research and write.
Papers should use 6 primary sources (3 may be drawn from the course materials, 3 must be located outside of class by students) and can reference an unlimited number of secondary sources. The paper must include references to all sources used, either as a bibliography or works cited page, or as footnotes or endnotes. Citations should be formatted according to Modern Language Association (MLA) standards.
