Why was Battutah able to partake on a voyage that covered nearly 75,000 total miles, and would you say his primary interest on this voyage centered on physical or metaphysical concerns? Due in class and on Turnitin – Section 1, 11:30 am on November 29; Section 3, 11:30 am on November 30. No outside research is required for this assignment. The only sources needed are the required books (the primary sources), lectures, and what we will discuss in class about these books (see course syllabus for discussion days). Be sure to cite whenever you quote and paraphrase these sources (Chicago style notation or MLA citation acceptable; a citation guide is found on Canvas under modules). Furthermore, always illustrate your general points and support your arguments with concrete examples from the book and its historical context. In other words, avoid being too vague or general. All papers must be double-spaced, in New Times Roman, and in 12 pt. font. The assignment is worth 25% of your total course grade. For details on the possibility of writing a second paper, see the syllabus. Citation Guide for Analysis Papers For your analysis paper this term, you are required to use either MLA or Chicago Style citations, guides to which are found below. Please remember that you should cite whenever you quote or paraphrase in your paper. A good rule of thumb – when in doubt, cite. I.

Example 1: In his book, The Prince, Machiavelli states that it is better to be feared than loved (Machiavelli, p. 43-45). Example 2: Machiavelli was a government official in the city of Florence during the sixteenth century (Stephens, Lecture 1). Such citations require a works-cited page at the end of your paper. Example: Works Cited Machiavelli, Niccolò. The Prince (New York: Dover Publications, 1992). Stephens, Isaac. “Lecture 1: To Rome and Greece for the Future,” SVSU, September 1, 2012. Stephens, Isaac. “Discussion 1: Machiavelli and The Prince,” SVSU, September 6, 2014. II. Chicago Style Citation Using Footnotes/Endnotes All Microsoft Word programs give you the ability to create footnotes/endnotes. In the tool bar at the top of the page find “References”.
