Written Assignment Guidelines

Below are recommended guidelines for written assignments to ensure earning full points:

• Review assignment and rubric and clarify with the instructor if you have any questions
• Choose a minimum of 3 sources that you will incorporate
• Set up paper in a Word Document and note the APA formatting feature located on the ‘References’ tab (typically at the top) – type Reference page and use the ‘Insert Citation’ feature as you write your paper
• Identify all that is being asked to address and formulate an outline
• Set up paper – if there are 3 topics to write about make sure there is the following:
  • Title Page
  • Opening Statement (introduce what will be covered)
  • 3 paragraphs covering each topic
  • Summary (summarize key takeaways of what was covered)
  • Reference page

• Ensure that all sources used are incorporated into what you are writing and cited.
• Compare the rubric against your work to ensure earning full points
