All written assignments are expected to have standardized formatting. Specifically, all written assignments should be written in Times New Roman 12 point font, have 1” margins, be double-spaced, and use proper APA formatting. Pages should be numbered on the top right, and all assignments should have the student name, date, and assignment name at the top. Please do not use extra spacing between sections/paragraphs. No cover/title pages are necessary. No reference pages are necessary if the student only references materials required on this syllabus. If an outside source is cited, please include a complete reference to that source in a properly formatted APA Reference List at the end of your assignment. Assignment page length requirements refer to the body of the assignment, and do not include references or title pages. For a brief tutorial on the basics of APA style, visit http://flash1r.apa.org/apastyle/basics/. Points will be deducted for improper formatting and noticeable issues with grammar, spelling, punctuation, and organization.

Weekly Response Papers: In place of a traditional exam, students will be expected to turn in answers to several weekly response papers. Each week, the professor will post several questions about that week’s module’s topic matter. The questions will be posted to BlackBoard at the end of each module’s “Notes” pages and are also listed in each module. Response papers should be treated like several mini essay exams. Answers will be graded on accuracy and completeness of response. You are encouraged to be thorough in your response and answer in complete sentences, but please keep your papers to a 2-3 page limit on each assignment. Each response paper is worth 12 points, for a total of 60 points (or 60% of your course grade).
