Cimato's Style Guide

Please ensure that all drafts of your written work adhere to the following basic expectations.
  1. For typed manuscripts please use 12 point “friendly fonts” only. Friendly fonts include: Arial, Times New Roman, Garamond, Century Gothic (my personal favorite), Courier New and Microsoft Sans Serif.
  2. Please spare my aging eyes and do NOT select/print in any color other than black and do not employ wiggly and “unfriendly fonts” such as Brush Script, Mistral, Curlz, or the like.
  3. Double space. Not 1.5 space. Not 1.75 space. Double Space.
  4. Standard margins all around.
  5. Pagination with your last name on the lower right hand corner of each page. (For example “Cimato 1”)
  6. Please follow standard MLA guidelines for citations and include a bibliography when appropriate to the assignment.
  7. Your name, my name, the project title and the date it is turned in should precede your work on a the first page which under no circumstances should be a whole EXTRA sheet of paper. Save a tree. Please note the date it is turned in may not be the due date. Be honest.
  8. If you are handing in a second or third draft of something please CLIP, NOT STAPLE previous drafts in a neat little bundle with the newest draft on the top.
  9. Also, if you begin an assignment more than ¼ of the way down the first page, I will consider it a short cut. Not good.
  10. All Final Drafts of papers must be submitted to me and to www.turnitin.com. Details will be provided as necessary.
