Written Expectations

The University of the Southwest strives to provide students an academically excellent education. In your new professions you will not only be judged on your knowledge, behavior, effort, and end result of your duties, you will also be judged on your writing skills. Fair or not, often your written documents will carry more weight than your actions. This finding is because of the permanence of a document as opposed to a conversation. Because of this, we do our best to assure you have exemplary writing skills. We strive for your continued success and reputation, in this program and career, as well as to maintain the outstanding reputation of the University of the Southwest.

To aide you in writing exceptional papers, this list of tutorials below has been put together to show you how to do this.

For all of my classes I expect to have all documents in Microsoft Word, with the correct spelling/grammar, proper header, page numbers, double spacing, citations within the text of the document, and a reference page. Discussions should also have correct spelling/grammar, and citations of where you got the information you are writing about.

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/media/pdf/20090212013008_560.pdf for proper FORMAT of document (note for most assignments the abstract is not necessary)

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/10/ to see how to properly reference an electronic source        

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/16/ for proper headings

Please don’t ever hesitate to contact me if you have questions. I appreciate helping you before you do something incomplete or incorrectly.

Thank you for paying attention to these class expectations.
