Label your Word document as follows: yourlastname.doc (ex: Johnson.docx). I highly recommend that you submit your work into Turnitin before the due date to test the strength of your document. The test document should be named “Test_yourlastname.doc. A reminder that the Similarity Rating must be less than 20%.
Late assignments without preapproval will be deducted by 50%. No late assignments will be accepted after the last day of the course.
General Instructions
Discussion Responses to the questions should be submitted within the text box and at least 200 words long, in Times New Roman 12PT, with one space after the punctuation and a citation. Answering the questions within the text box rather than adding an MS Word attachment is essential. In addition, make sure you include in-text citations supporting your work throughout your answer. Regarding response posts, they must be at least 200 words in Times New Roman 12PT, with one space after the punctuation and a citation. As with discussion questions, answer the questions within the text box rather than adding an MS Word attachment. Ensure that you include in-text citations supporting your work throughout your answer. Remember that assignments are due in the Assignment portion of the classroom by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. EDT each week.
It is essential to read and understand the directions and requirements for each assignment, and please ensure you cite your references in APA format. Always follow APA formatting and style guidelines (7th edition) to ensure your work is formatted correctly. Furthermore, all work is automatically viewed against a Similarity rating in Turnitin. Any assignments submitted with a similarity rating of more than 20% will be rejected with a zero score. The Similarity Rating measures your original work against other sources to ensure original thought.
Please note that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is not approved in this course. APUS has tools to ensure that your work is original. If you are found to have engaged in AI, you will be automatically referred to the school for plagiarism. Finally, remember the basic rules for all assignments, such as using 12-inch standard fonts in Times New Roman, using MS Word, leaving one space after the punctuation, leaving two spaces between paragraphs, including in-text citation and reference, using black ink, setting 1-inch margins, and remembering that front matter (Cover page) and back matter (Reference Page) do not count towards the total word or page count.
*You may use a larger discussion font size for ease of reading.
