WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT CRITERIA (apply to Module Short Answer Assignments):
- 4) 1″ margins (you may need to reset your margins)
- Size 12 font
- No minimum / maximum length requirements. Focus is completeness & quality of response.
- Single space or double space within a given answer; double space between answers. (If a question has multi-part answers, please note this by additional line spacing, labeling answer parts such as “1A, 1B” , or underlining a key word at the beginning of each answer part.)
- Paraphrase text references rather than direct copy unless a direct quote is intentionally being used.
- Direct quoting the text requires quotation marks around the quote immediately followed by an in-text citation. The in-text citation consists of placing in parentheses the author’s name and text page number containing the referenced quoted content. Example: “People define quality in many ways” (Evans 6).
- Title page not required. Put your name and other identifying information at the top of page 1.
- A references page is not required as the text is your only required resource. However, including references from other publications for short-answer questions will require a works cited page and additional in-text citations.
