General Guidelines for Written Work

Standard written work turned in for a grade should follow these guidelines. This format will not work for all assignments, especially journal entries and other Web-based work, but it should be followed when possible. Specific assignments might include additional, even contradictory, guidelines. When that is the case, specific assignment guidelines supersede these here.

1) Assignments must be typed and legibly printed from a computer or a typewriter. Standard quality for ink-jet and laser printers are always appropriate. Typing should be double-spaced for essays, short papers, and short assignments not posted online. Normal margins should be an inch at the top, bottom, left, and right of each page.

2) Each item submitted should have the following information in the upper left hand corner, double-spaced, and starting one inch from the top:

Your Name

Mr. Walter

Course Number/Section

Date Submitted

3) The assignment title should be centered and one double space below the information in number 2. Final versions of essays should be given an essay title as well as an assignment title.

4) Each page should bear the last name of the student and the page number in the upper right-hand corner one-half inch from the top. (Use the header function of your word processor. If you’re not sure how to insert a header, check your software’s help or ask me.)

5) All pages should be stapled or paper-clipped together. Writing projects should be turned in inside a folder with individual drafts stapled or paper-clipped together
