Hi Class,

As you begin drafting your papers, please take a look at the Research Briefing Instructions again in the Course Content area. It is absolutely critical that you strictly adhere to the following:

1. 5-6 pages of content. This doesn't include the references page.

2. No abstract.

3. Double-spaced. 1 inch margins. 12 point font.

Please do not depart from the above rules. All other rules in the Research Briefing Instructions still govern as well.

The UMUC Late Policy:  For late submissions that have not been approved by the instructor the penalty will be a 5 percent reduction in the grade (on the hundred percent scale) for that assignment for each day that the assignment is late. Submissions will not be accepted after grades for the assignment have been posted.  Alternate assignments are not available. No late assignments will be accepted after the last day of class. Please see the Syllabus for more details.

I look forward to reading your briefings! Due date is MONDAY, August 5. One minute late is the next day and therefore the late penalty will apply.
