Hello Everyone!

I would like to provide you with some assistance with the Week 1 Assignment: Careers in Corrections worksheet.

This is a worksheet rather than an academic paper or essay. Therefore, the structure and style are different.

It is best to use an academic writing style for creating your responses for the worksheet questions.

1.  Use proper English, grammar, and punctuation. Spell Check!

2.  Double space everything.

3.  Use paragraphs within each response.  Break the information up as you address the individual aspects of each question.

4.  Meet the word count for each response as indicated in the instructions (usually 175 - 350 words per response).

5.  Write in a clear and concise manner.  Short sentences are best.   Proof read and remove unnecessary words.

Example:   Proof read your work and remove any words that are not necessary.

                  Proof read and remove unnecessary words.

6.  Write in 3rd person.    Do not use the words "we," "our," or "us."  You do not know the reader.  You should not speak for the reader.

7. Try to avoid using the word “I” in response #1 and #3. Put the focus on the information. But because you are asked about your qualifications, it is appropriate to use the word “I” in response #2 (only).

8.  Begin working on the assignments early in the work week.  Do not wait until the very end and rush through it.  By beginning early, if you have questions or concerns, I can assist you before it is too late.  Create a draft and develop it over several days.  It is best to budget extra time and submit it a day early just in case something unexpected happens.

9.  Review the grading rubric so that you are clear on the assignment expectations.

Remember it isn't only "what" you say, but also "how" you say it that counts........
