See, Written Assignment Rubric.

Written projects must:

Be a Microsoft Word document. Use a simple 12-point Ariel font. Use black ink for majority of your

work. Use color ONLY if it enhances your ability to communicate your thoughts.

Your assignments should meet or exceed the required number of pages of text for a particular

assignment.

Your assignments should use the required number of references and dates for a particular

assignment.

The cover page, References page, and visual aids such as figures and graphics are not included

in the text count; however, a cover page is required.

Be sure your name and date are on the cover page of your writing assignment.

Use subheadings to separate major themes or topics. Respond comprehensively. Give

examples when appropriate. Be sure to provide your own perspective on each of the

questions.

Include a References page, which includes references that explain the concepts.

You should use the required minimum number of pages per assignment.

Demonstrate that you have read and understood the course materials (internal sources) by

citing and referencing.

Also, cite and reference a minimum of four (4) external references dated 2018 to the present -

depending on the assignment. Do not use Wikipedia, or other sources wich are not

acceptable.

You should use APA style for a student paper which includes formatting for page numbers,

page margins, etc. More information about using a style guide can be found in the UMGC's

virtual library accessible from your LEO classroom in Course Resources, "APA & Writing

Resources" or at umgc.edu/library.

Upload your word-processed document (only .doc or .docx) in your course Assignments folder

by the due date in the LEO calendar. The due date is normally Tuesday 11:59 pm Eastern

Time.

Write your paper with clear syntax, correct grammar, and spelling.

Refer to the grading rubric associated with the assignments. Be sure to note that a

percentage of your grade on assignments will be based on your grammar, composition,

adherence to the submission requirements, and use of an appropriate college-level style guide

for writing and referencing (APA format).

NOTE:

1. Do not use contractions. For example, "It is not a good idea to use contractions in a formal

paper" is more professional than, "It's not a good idea to use contractions in a formal paper."

2. Do not use the person you or we. For example, "When you communicate, you should always

..." is not as professional as "When a manager communicates, s/he should always ..."

3. Do not forget problem words: it's is not its; your is not you're; to is not too; cite is not site;

their is not there or they're. There are also other common word challenges. Take care to use

words correctly so that your discussion is effective and professional.

4. Save your paper in the following manner and remember to substitute your name:

LastName.First Initial.A1.docx For example, Brown.B.A1.docx (A1 = Assignment 1)
