%% This is a class (.cls) file for LaTeX2e.
%%
%% Author: Norman R. Gall
%% Department of Philosophy
%% The University of Calgary
%% Calgary, Alberta
%%
%% ngall@ucalgary.ca
%%
%% Feel free to copy, modify, and distribute.
%% I am interested in all changes you make.
%% Send changes to ngall@ucalgary.ca
%%
%% This file is based on the default article.cls file
%%
%% General Notes:
%%
%% I have taken quite a few liberties in the template to cohere with
%% idiosyncratic preferences in reading student's papers. I think that
%% while other instructors might be more liberal, there will be few who
%% are more conservative in their requirements.
%%
%% My purpose in writing this .cls is to provide students with a single
%% straightforward template from which to generate clear, clean, and
%% simple papers that are easy to read and identify by instructors.
%%
%%
%% I have assumed onecolumn and onepage. In my experience, no one likes to
%% see columned or duplex papers.

% Version History
% ---------------
% v0.1 2002-02-16 Test of Class file
% v1.0 2002-02-21 Cleaned up comments and added \coursesection
% v2.0 2003-08-19 Major revision to make template generic
%
% - Command Notes ------------------------------
%
% new commands: \studentnumber, \college, \coursename, \coursenumber,
% \coursesection, \instructor
%
% All of these commands go in the preamble and are pretty
% straightforward. You use them just like the \author
% command. I have smart-assed defaults programmed, so you'd better
% remember to insert your own values.
%
% I have included these as these are what I want to see on each and every
% paper I receive. If there are other items that you might find helpful,
% e-mail the suggestion.
%
% Page Styles
%
% \pagestyle{headings} and pagestyle{plain} work as per article.cls
% except that
% a) when using titlepage, there is no page number printed on
% the title page and the title page is not counted.
% b) when not using titlepage, there is no page number printed
% on the first page but it is counted.
% c) when using titlepage and there is an abstract, there is no
% page number printed on the title page or the abstract page
% and neither the title page nor abstract page is counted.
% d) when not using titlepage and there is an abstract, there
% is no page number printed on the first page but it is
% counted. The abstract is inserted immediately after the
% title matter.
%
% \pagestyle{myheadings) works as above except it has the marks shifted
% to the right for clarity so that students can place their name on
% each page, if required
%
% Abstract
%
% Some disciplines regularly use the abstract in papers, so I have dealt
% with it. If you use the titlepage option and included the abstract right
% after the title material, the abstract will be placed on a second page
% by itself after the titlepage. The main body will then begin on the next
% page, with page numbering beginning there.
%
% Draft and Final Modes
%
% The draft and final options actually do something other than show you
% line overruns. The draft option single spaces everything and gives you
% slightly smaller margins. The final option gives you wider margins (for
% comments---students never leave enough room for instructor marginalia),
% and double spaces everything except the abstract, quotations, quotes,
% verses, and footnotes. None of these things should be double-spaced in a
% final paper, in my view. The bibliography (`References' has been
% renamed) will be double spaced. You can use a \spacing{1} before your
% \bibliography command to change that behaviour.
%
% There is also an \epigraph command at the end, if you are into that sort
% of thing in your papers.
