  • Use Advanced Punctuation
    Elftmann Student Success Center Use Advanced Punctuation “ - • Using known marks “ • Punctuation rules ; > Advanced Punctuation Punctuation plays a vital role in writing, and using more advanced marks can increase the maturity of your writing significantly. Why can’t I use basic punctuation marks I already know? The most important reason why these marks are essential to know is that they are required for the proper citation of sources in most format styles. As a writer, you need to be able to give due credit to the original author, or your work will be considered plagiarized. Using these advanced marks not only stretches you as a learner, but allows you to have more flexibility as a writer. However, many of these marks are often left behind because they are options, and writers can choose to use more familiar marks instead. What you say is as important as how you say it, and using these marks will give you more tools to make your message clear. What are the rules for using advanced punctuation marks?

  • Style Guide for Graduate Students
    THE STYLE GUIDE FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS Presentation is vitally important. This is not because there is any virtue in following rules for their own sake, but because the rules make sense - an essay or dissertation that is well written and properly laid out will gain your readers' confidence and convey your message to them as efficiently as possible. Getting the presentation right is an essential part of the historian's craft. The rules in this guide should be followed in all class essays and assessed work, as well as in the dissertation or thesis. The standard authority on all matters of presentation and format is Judith Butcher, Copy-editing for Editors, Authors, Publishers, 3rd edn, (Cambridge, 1992), and the MHRA Style Guide (2002), of which there is a copy in the Graduate Programme Office. The MHRA Style Guide can also be accessed at http://www.mhra.org.uk/Publications/Books/StyleGuide/. A FORMAT a) The thesis should be typed (or printed), on A4 paper, on one side only. b) There should be a 4cm (1½-inch) margin at the left-hand side of the page, and an adequate margin on the other three edges. c) Spacing: The text of your essay should be double-spaced. The footnotes (or endnotes) should however be single-spaced. d) Indentation: Except for the very first paragraph under a new heading, the first line of every paragraph should be indented. You do not need to add extra spacing between paragraphs: the indentation alone tells the reader that you have begun a new paragraph. e) Pagination: Number each page of your essay.
