You will write your minimum three full pages paper, using the following format:
1. 1.5 spacing instead of double.
2. 1 inch margins, not 1.25 which is what Word defaults to on the left and right. Do Not move the ruler at the top of the page to fix your margins. Use "File" then "Page Setup" to set the margins.

3.Use 14 pt font (Arial or Times New Roman) for the paper.
4.On the cover page you should have the following on the top LEFT corner. DO NOT INDENT:

• Your name
• Title of the assignment
• The date you are dropping the assignment
• Your email address


How to make a cover page.... at the end of the information on your cover page insert a page break from the Insert tab in Word. That will separate your cover page from the body of your paper.

5. Do not repeat the questions, but answer them in order using a research style format where one paragraph flows into the other. Do not leave spaces between paragraphs. Indent the first line of each paragraph. Do not play with the before and after line spacing. They should be left at 0 pt. Only change the line spacing to 1.5.

6. A header on your paper with your name in it. This will place your name on each page. Use View on the tool bar to set up the header. Check in Page Set-up that it is 0.5 inches. Do Not play with the ruler at the top of the page to set margins or headers.

7. Points will be lost for grammar, spelling and for formatting errors.

8. Save your paper in an earlier Word format as Linda works in Word 2003, not Word 2007 or Vista. Sometimes she can't open later versions of Word. That means your grade will be delayed until you can get it to her in a version she can open and read. Teach can now open 2007 documents.
When using the Internet, text book, magazine or other source to help you answer a question, you need to cite your source(s). Failure to do so can lead to a plagiarism charge which means a zero for the assignment, a possible expulsion from the course and/or the university. If you don't know how to cite your papers, read the APA formatting guideline I left for you on the Assignment page.
