Course Policies Regarding Written Work:

Students are required and must adhere to the use of APA Style (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association). Note: The latest edition (6th). All written assignments must be submitted on the due date. Late papers will not be accepted and a zero will be given for that assignment. There will be strict adherence to this policy with no exceptions.

Assignments must have a cover/title page, be type-written, doubled spaced. Number your pages, as per APA style, and give a cover page as per APA style. Leave uniform margins of one inch at the top, bottom, left and right of every page. In most word-processing programs, one inch is the default setting for margins. Size 12-point Times Roman or Ariel font is recommended. Please do not use enhanced or oddly sized fonts. These are inappropriate. Start the reference list on a new page.

All pages of the paper including the title page must be numbered. The number should appear at least one inch from the right-hand edge of the page, in the space between the top edge of the paper and the first line of the text (Please refer APA Style Guide 6th Ed.).
