Writing Assignment Guidelines

As a general guideline, responses to each lecture assignment question should be in the 100 – 300 word range. In addition, it is required that you spell and grammar check your responses before submitting them. I encourage you to incorporate your personal and professional experiences along with explanations supported by course materials and outside sources in your responses.

It is required that you put thought and effort into your responses to ensure that they are of quality. It is also recommended that you refer to course materials, outside resources, and your experience when possible. Also, please cite any resources you use in formulating your responses.
