Clarifications
- All
papers must include YOUR name, the course name, section and date
submitted
in the upper right hand corner (single spacing) 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 HeaderZone
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. Note that there is still a 2% "handling fee"
if you mail your work.
- Please ALL the
submission rules at the bottom of any of the DUE DATES pages for each
course. (e.g. Mol Bio 1 Due Dates).
- Graphics
should 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.
- 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.)"
- 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.
- 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.
