WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS:
Written Assignments are 1,000-1,200 words in length (4-5 pages, not counting the title page or reference page) and address the prompt given for that unit writing assignment (see prompts below).
The assignments are objective analysis; do not use first or second person (“I” or “you”).
Written Assignments must follow proper APA format and include a title page, in-text citations, introduction, major section headings for each assignment objective, a conclusion, and a reference page. (No abstract is needed.)
Written assignments must include support from at least three credible sources published in the last ten years. Credible references may come from:
the Deets Library
Open Source scholarly journal sites
Governmental statistical and other resources
Tribal or other indigenous peoples organization websites and publications
Credible religious, ethnic, and professional association websites and publications.
Consult the grading rubric to make sure you understand how your work will be graded.
