Include your name, student number, course number, course title and unit number with your
writing assignment.
Begin each writing assignment by identifying the question number you are answering followed by
the actual question itself (in bold type).
Use a standard essay format for responses to all questions (i.e., an introduction, middle
paragraphs and conclusion).
Responses must be typed double-spaced, using a standard font (i.e. Times New Roman) and 12
point type size.
Word count is NOT one of the criteria that is used in assigning points to writing assignments. However,
students who are successful in earning the maximum number of points tend to submit writing assignments
that fall in the following ranges:
Undergraduate courses: 350 – 500 words or 1 – 2 pages.
Graduate courses: 500 – 750 words or 2 – 3 pages.
Doctoral courses: 750 – 1000 words or 4 – 5 pages.
