Clarifications
  • All papers must include YOUR name, the course name, section and date submitted in the upper right hand corner in the header zone on the first page ONLY... so do not use the header function of your word processor because it will place your name on every page.
  • There is a difference between a Heading and a Header.
    • A Heading is a word or phrase describing a section of a paper such as Clarifications above.
    • A Header Zone is the place in your paper where your name is written and ...
    • A Footer is the place in your paper where the page number is written. 
  • Do not submit your paper with a title page. (It wastes paper!)
  • Do not use plastic folders to protect your paper. (It wastes your money, and I drop them more often.)
  • Place your submission in the IN FOLDER for YOUR section.
  • Late submissions or submissions when I am not available:
    • Ask a teacher or staff member to print and sign their name, and add the date and time when you are placing the document in my mailbox.  Failure to do so will result in my assumption that you submitted your work on the following day with the loss of 5-10% depending when I visit my mailbox.
    • Alternative: You may mail via United States Postoffice, Fed Ex, or equvalent your work to me at my school address. The critical issue is the time and date it is taken out of your hands.  Therefore make sure the cancellation or time of mailing will be displayed clearly on your package.  Please not that there will be a 2% handling charge if you mail your work.
  • Graphics MUST support each major section of your assignments.
    • Photos may be used as graphics for photos of people, places or apparati.  They may NOT be used for drawings of molecules or flow charts, etc.  Graphics about molecules, structures, or flow charts should be drawn by hand, or may be traced from a referenced source.  You learn by DOING, not by COPYING.
    • All Figures must be placed in the paper in order of their discussion. 
    • All Figures must be referred to in the text of your paper using styles such as: "As seen in Figure 2, " or "(See Figure 1.)"   If you do not do so... you will receive no credit for that graphic.
    • All graphics are to be considered as Figures and all figures must include a one-sentence legend describing the graphic.  All graphics should be appropriately labeled in ENGLISH (See Mehta Rule).
    • Graphics DO NOT need to be presented in color.  Color graphics are optional and will gain no extra points.
    • Warning: Printing on graphics that is illegible, will negate the value of the graphic.
