Written Assignments

Make sure you have a full cover page with the information I have asked for in my expectation post. It is located on the Announcement Forum.

Answer each question as completely as possible. The answer to each numbered question in a particular assignment should be at least 250 words in length, or between one and two double-spaced typed pages. (Depending on how many questions appear in each of the first nine assignments, each assignment will run between 500 and 1250 words per assignment. The last assignment has its own length prescription.)

Formulate your responses in your own words. Use specific examples to illustrate your points, but do not merely copy information from the textbook.

When it is appropriate to use quotations or paraphrase from your text materials, be sure to cite your sources properly by giving page number in parentheses or using footnotes and endnotes.

When you have completed the assignment, proofread your answers for correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Send your assignments on or before the appropriate date in the calendar and according to the instructions in the Student Handbook.

Class here is an outline for your first assignment.

Please use this outline as a model for all assignments.

Remember, you need to use APA formatting not MLA. There is a ppt on the Announcement forum regarding APA formatting along with websites that instruct you on how to use APA.

Please answer fully and use citations and references. I have posted a best practice model on the Announcement Forum that you can use as a guide. If you have any questions, just email me at [email protected]
