Guidelines for Writing Assignments

All paragraphs and essays must be typed; journals may be handwritten. Paragraphs and essays must be double spaced—what you are currently reading is double spaced; this is how your work will look. You should have no extra spaces in between paragraphs. All of your work will have a title and will be formatted to look exactly like this handout.

Paragraphs are indented 5 spaces from the left margin; use “Tab” not space bar. Two spaces follow a period; one space follows a comma. You should double space between paragraphs also between lines, as I have done between the paragraphs on this page. Double spacing allows me to correct and grade your writing, so only double spaced work will be accepted.

Make sure that your papers have one inch margins on both sides and at the top and bottom of the paper. Again, proper margins make my job easier and also give me someplace to write comments.

If you rewrite an assignment, hand in the original graded copy (or copies) with the rewrite with the revision on top. There are no due dates for rewrites. Remember- proofreading and correcting mistakes on graded papers is correction, not revision.

LATE PAPERS MAY NOT BE REWRITTEN!
