Submission Instructions:
Written communication is an essential tool for any professional. As with any skill, writing well is the result of practice followed by feedback and the use of relevant and appropriate sources. Therefore, the quality of writing is graded as part of this assignment. See your syllabus for more guidelines. It is easy for students to plagiarize – cut and paste right into a text document.
"Many college papers are published on the web and students can even become members of e-groups which, for a small fee, promise to deliver 'A+' papers on every topic. Ways to cheat are abundant on the Web."

· Readability & Style: Use 3rd person point of view (unless opinion paper) avoiding pronouns such as I, we, my, our (1st person) andyou, yours, your, us, we (2ndperson). Deal with facts, thus, providing citations within paper and reference page. Focus on subject; not feelings about the subject. The use of 3rd person retains a formal tone: Academic writing is more formal than casual conversation. |
