Assignment Instructions

Format: Use the provided Unit 1 Assignment template.  Download this to your computer, fill it in, make sure your content has  been saved when you are done, and then submit it to Dropbox. Do not copy  and paste the template content into a new document; use it "as is." You  can leave it single-spaced, but make sure it is clear where new  paragraphs begin.

Assignments submitted without the use of the template as described  here will not be graded. Note that APA document formatting will not be  applied until the Unit 4 Assignment.

Before You Begin:

Make sure you have read the Unit 1 Reading PDF and skimmed through  the Formal Writing and Common Errors TakeAway PDF. You may want to refer  back to those documents during the proofreading process.
