Writing Assignment for Unit Three

• Include your name, student number, course number, course title and unit number with your
  writing assignment.
• Begin each writing assignment by identifying the question number you are answering followed by
  the actual question itself (in bold type).
• Use a standard essay format for responses to all questions (i.e., an introduction, middle
  paragraphs and conclusion).
• Responses must be typed double-spaced, using a standard font (i.e. Times New Roman) and 12

point type size.

Word count is NOT one of the criteria that is used in assigning points to writing assignments. However,

students who are successful in earning the maximum number of points tend to submit writing assignments that fall in the following ranges:

Undergraduate courses: 350 – 500 words or 1 – 2 pages. Graduate courses: 500 – 750 words or 2 – 3 pages.
Doctoral courses: 750 – 1000 words or 4 – 5 pages.

Plagiarism

All work must be free of any form of plagiarism. Put written answers into your own words. Do not simply cut and paste your answers from the Internet and do not copy your answers from the textbook. Be sure to refer to the course syllabus for more details on plagiarism and proper citation styles.
