c.) Assignment Presentation

Clarity and pleasing appearance are aided by:

• Leaving reasonable margins.
• Leaving a one-line gap between paragraphs.
• Using 1.5 line spacing.
• Using clear, readable fonts of 12-point size (e.g. Times New Roman or Arial for general usage, and Cardo when Unicode fonts are required for biblical languages).
• Using footnotes rather than endnotes.
• Following the Turabian or Chicago Style for all style and formatting of the assignments’ main text, footnotes, and bibliography; and the SBL Handbook of Style for special items of citation unique to biblical studies.
• Numbering your pages.
