Writing Expectations
It is expected that all students write in a manner representative
of students at this level of their educational journey. Please pay
particular attention to the information listed below.
Citation and Reference Style
Students will follow the APA (American Psychological
Association) 6th edition writing style format as the sole citation
and reference style used in written work submitted as part of
coursework for the College 100 course. Assignments completed
in a narrative essay or composition format must follow the
citation style cited in the APA manual. Please note that other
courses and programs at APUS may require use of other citation
and reference styles.
Document File Formats
All word-processing documents submitted in the classroom by
students must be in .doc .docx or .rtf formats.
Late Assignments
Students are expected to submit classroom assignments by the
posted due date and to complete the course according to the
published class schedule. Any assignment submitted late will
be subject to a 5% penalty unless otherwise stated on the
specific assignment itself. Exceptions will be made at the
discretion of the instructor.
As adults, students, and working professionals, we understand
you must manage competing demands on your time. Should you
need additional time to complete an assignment, please contact
the instructor as soon as you can so the situation can be
discussed and an acceptable resolution determined.
Netiquette
Online universities promote the advancement of knowledge
through positive and constructive debate – both inside and
outside the classroom. Forums on the Internet, however, can
occasionally degenerate into needless insults and “flaming.”
Such activity and the loss of good manners are not acceptable in
a university setting – basic academic rules of good behavior and
proper “Netiquette” must persist. Remember that you are in a
place for the rewards and excitement of learning, which does
not include resorting to personal attacks or attempting to stifle
the thoughts of others.
· Technology Limitations: While you should feel free to explore
the full-range of creative composition in your formal
assignments, keep e-mail layouts simple. The Sakai classroom
may not fully support MIME or HTML encoded messages,
which means that bold face, italics, underlining, and a variety of
color-coding or other visual effects may not translate in your e-
mail messages.
· Humor Note: Despite the best of intentions, jokes and
especially satire can easily get lost or taken seriously. If you
feel the need for humor, you may wish to add “emoticons” to
help alert your readers: ;-), : ), J
