General Instructions for Written Assignments
Please read the following instructions carefully:
For word length or page limit, see the specific instructions for each essay assignment.
Grading of the paper will be based on scope, depth, critical thinking skills, and grammatical accuracy. Your paper should be written in the third person, so be sure to avoid any first person subjective experiences. Make sure to also read “How Written Assignments will be marked” before you begin.
Pay careful attention to the “Submission Requirements” below. They are mandatory elements and you are expected to follow them!
Submission Requirements
| Quotations | |
| MLA | All quoting and paraphrasing must be properly referenced using MLA in-text/parenthetical citations. An accompanying MLA Works Cited page referencing the novels/stories must be included. If you are unfamiliar with MLA style, you need to look at The MLA Handbook (available in most libraries), or consult the sources in the Writing Guide (in Assignments). Failure to cite, or citing in a style other than MLA (e.g., APA) will result in grading penalties.
|
| Format: | Word processed, double spaced, with page numbering on every page. Composed in proper sentences and paragraphs. Align the paper at the left margin only. Do not right align (a.k.a. right justify -have all the words line up at the right margin). This is incorrect format. Your words should form a “ragged” edge at the right. This document is left aligned, which is the correct format. Margins: 1” for top, bottom, left, and right. Title page: must include: name of the assignment, your name, student number, registering college, submission date, word count.
|
| Save | Rich Text Format (.rtf) is the only accepted file format. Files that I cannot open will not be marked. Use this file name: Xx_asgnxx.rtf, where X is replaced by your last name; x is replaced by your first initial, and xx is replaced by the assignment number.
Example: My assignment 1 file would be named this way: gagnea_asgn1.rtf |
| Submit | Your file must be submitted in the Assignments area. In the Assignments area, click the link for the specific assignment (i.e., Essay1). In the new screen, attach your file in Section 2, Assignment Materials. Important: When uploading your file, Either error will mean that I will not get your assignments at all, and you may lose your marks.
