Policies

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




Course Delivery
