Expectations for Written Work in Suzanne Rathe's Courses

It is expected that any written assignment submitted to me will meet the following criteria:

  • Typed, 12 point Arial Font
  • Double Spaced
  • 1 inch margins on top, bottom, and sides
  • No graphics unless requested specifically
  • White paper (recycled paper from the library or computer labs is acceptable)
  • Name printed on top of first page
  • Stapled if more than one page

Points will be deducted, regardless of content, if there are:

  • Capitalization errors
  • Spelling errors
  • Grammar errors
  • Punctuation errors
  • Parts of the assignment are incomplete or unanswered
  • Requirements that are unmet
  • Content of paper is plagiarized (assignment will receive a zero)

Points will be deducted if assignment is submitted late.

  • Any assignment submitted past the due date will be penalized 50%
  • Any assignment not submitted within one week of due date will receive a zero.

NOTE: I reserve the right to return assignments to students without grading if there are an unreasonable amount of errors. Students will be responsible for re-submitting assignment within two days for grading.
