1. Students are expected to use the most current APA reference style for assignments. This includes the use of a cover page, or at least a title at the top of the assignment, indicating the course name and number, assignment number, name of the instructor/tutor, name and ID number of the student, and the submission date.
2. Please double-space your assignments, using size 12 Times New Roman font. Please note that the suggested lengths are only guidelines – some answers may be longer; however, they should generally not be too much shorter. The main consideration is that answers are concise, complete, and comprehensive. For example, when asked to explain or define concepts and terms, students should provide examples to demonstrate their understanding.
3. Please pay attention to sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Answers should be accurate, clear and unambiguous.
4. Ensure academic integrity and avoid plagiarism. Students registered in Athabasca University courses are considered to be responsible scholars and are therefore expected to conform to the highest standards of academic integrity in all written assignments and examinations. This means that all work that students submit, including answers to assignments, must be properly referenced. To meet the academic standards and avoid plagiarism in this course:
. Consider everything in print or electronic format as protected by copyright. Presenting the work of others as if it is one’s own is classified as intellectual dishonesty, and may result in rejection of the submitted work, expulsion from the course or the program, or legal action, depending on the circumstances. Make sure you fully and carefully document (using APA citation style) the sources of any quotations, information, ideas, images, and tabular and statistical information that you use from other sources, including electronic sources used in your assignments.
. Any work that draws from other sources, including your own (whether the source is from the course materials or from external publications, government documents, institutional records, personal communications, etc.) must be cited in the body of the work. All assignments submitted for this course must be original work written for this course. Submitting assignments or parts of assignments that you have submitted for other courses is considered academic misconduct, and you will be subject to discipline. You may quote from your own earlier work, but any such passages must be identified and fully referenced in the same way as you would for material from any other source.
. In addition to the citations in the answers to the assignments, you must provide a reference list at the end of each essay or assignment, with the full bibliographic information on each source cited, including the author’s name, year of publication, title of the work, place of publication, and publisher. Citations of online materials must include the correct URL for the source. The reference list must provide all of the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source cited in the answers must appear in the reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in the body of work. Including a reference list at the end without including citations in the body of the answers is not sufficient, and constitutes plagiarism.
. Plagiarism is considered academic misconduct and carries serious consequences. We know that some plagiarism occurs inadvertently because students do not understand the need to include references, especially on assignments. It is however, the student’s responsibility to understand the rules and to avoid plagiarism. Please note that the consequences for “accidental’ plagiarism are the same as for “deliberate” plagiarism. If you are in doubt, check out the plagiarism tutorials on the Write Site, and test your knowledge.
