Student Checklist

_____ 1. Is the body of your paper > 475 words? (not including title, heading, references)
               Less than the required number of words earns a zero.
               There is no maximum length restriction. However, the more you write,
                      the more chance for errors.

_____ 2. Is your name at the top of the paper? (10 points off)

_____ 3. Is there a title at the top of the paper? (10 points off)

_____ 4. Are you sure that you did not plagiarize?
               If you have 3 consecutive words that are the same as the source,
                       you might be plagiarizing.
               Plagiarism will earn you a zero.

_____ 5. Did you include the bibliography at the end? (10 points off)
               I prefer that you not start this on a new page,
                    but continue after a short space at the end of your paper.

_____ 6. Does your review include material from ALL of the articles assigned?
               You can't just write about one or two of them.

_____ 7. Did you save the file in the proper format? (If I can't read it, grade is zero.)
               Use the Save As feature to save it as an .rtf file.
               Include your name in the name of the file.

_____ 8. Submit your paper EARLY!
               Remember that your watch and Digital Drop Box may not be synchronized.
               If your paper is even one second late, grade is zero.
               You know all the assignments at the beginning of the term.
               There is absolutely NO excuse for lateness.
               Turn in assignments early. You never know when you might encounter
                         some family or health emergency.

_____ 9. Did you use 12 point font size and single spacing? (10 points off)
