MECHANICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PAPER
:
1,000 Words, Minimum.You can write beyond that if you wish but points will be deducted for
papers under 1,000 words.Five points off for every 25 words under 1,000.
Write your essay on a word processor with Microsoft Word.Highlight your document, copy it,
and then paste it onto the dialogue box on the Canvas site for submission of your paper.Look
over the pasted document to make sure nothing has been left out.Provide the word count at the end of the paper.When you type a document on Microsoft Word, Word automatically counts the number of pages and the words at the bottom left of the workspace in the status bar.If you don’t see the word count in the status bar, right-click the
status bar and click “Word Count.”You can also go to “Tools” on a classic Word, menu, pull down and click on “Word Count”.And as stated above if the word count is below 1,000, then you will lose points. If you do not type in bold print the word count at the bottom of the paper I will penalize your paper by five (5) points. Write this paper in your own words.Don’t worry if you’re ESL or if you don’t think you are a good writer.I want to hear your ideas and your experiences.Your impressions.All in your own words.
Do not plagiarize
.Do your own work.If you quote from an article be sure to put the material “within quotation marks” to indicated you have used the author’s own words.Indicate the source you used after the quote.As to your discussion, your analysis, and your personal reflections, you have to write what is in your head, heart, and mind.Your words are better than anyone else’s in telling me about what you know and what you think and believe.Do not risk flunking this assignment by plagiarizing.
