Guidelines for Writing Papers
Content
1. Respond specifically to the question asked. Speak directly to the actual information requested.
2. Be as specific and through as you can be. Many times the reason why a student misses points on a paper is that they weren't through or specific enough. Answer these questions whenever possible: Who? What? Why? Where? When? How?
3. Relate statements, experiences, ideas, and feelings to your real life. Use actual examples from your past and present experiences.
Format
2. Follow the format for each assignment, by that I mean number and label each section as it appears in the instructions.
3. If you are not submitting your paper via email, please staple your pages. Please do not tun them in unstapled (no, I don't have a stapler with me in class.)
