Expectations for Written Assignments

Written Assignments

Please do not use Wikipedia; this is not an acceptable academic resource.
Use at least three academic references; this does not include your text readings, the scenarios or the simulations. Always craft your written assignments in the third person. The CWE has a rubric for expectations for a 400 level course.
Academic references are only available in the University of Phoenix Library, or a library and have been peer reviewed. Please discuss this in your team forum of if you like we may discuss in the questions thread of week one.

Please follow the word count requirements, I am looking for your own work, if I see many citations and quotes I will go through and count to see how many words are your “own”.

I encourage you to use the CWE to help you craft your work, start with the Tutorial service, at least once during the course. When you are proof reading try reading your work out loud this will help you with your flow.

When you post your written assignment please follow this format: first name_last name_wk1_a1 x

This allows me and you to keep better track of your work.

You will use the assignment upload links to submit your assignments for grading.
