Essays should be a maximum of 7 pages. You are not required to turn in a works cited page if you use only materials from the syllabus. If you feel strongly about a source from outside of the class, you may use it, but then you must provide a works cited for those sources. Use Times New Roman, 12 point font, double-spaced with 1-inch margins.

Cite the sources of your facts and arguments using in-text citations that include the author, year, and page (Magagna 2020, 435). We like lots of specific citations. It makes it look like you are analyzing the actual texts, which makes it look like you care.

and here are the readings1. Fromkin, David. Europe’s Last Summer: Who Started the Great War in 1914? Knopf, 2004.

2. Kindsvatter, Peter S. American Soldiers. Kansas, 2003.
