GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Your paper is to be 3 full pages, double-spaced, standard size font (12), one-inch margins, formal format and style. Your name should appear on the first page. No need for a cover page. It needs to be uploaded as a file (either rtf or doc x) in the assignment submission box.
1. Your responses should incorporate concepts and specifics from this week’s reading and video viewing.
2. Feel free to discuss this assignment with others, but your paper should reflect your ideas; this is not intended to be a group project or research assignment.
3. Quotations: be selective in their length and number. They should be deliberately and carefully chosen to enhance the content of your paper, not just take up space!
4. Use best practices in citation and documentation. This means that all quotes, specialized information, explanations, or ideas borrowed from other sources must be properly noted. Any standard system of notation is fine, although the easiest approach is to put the citation information in the body of your paper in parentheses right after the quote or paraphrased information. (Author/source/page)
***Failure to do this results in plagiarism. If you are unsure whether something needs to be documented, it is always better to do so.***
5. Proofread your paper carefully: sloppy editing looks like sloppy thinking.
