    provided for you via Google Classroom and apply all the instruction given in class. All the resources you need
    to succeed in this course will be discussed in class, found on Classroom, in your textbook, and through the
    NCMC library website. The biggest assignment in the course is an 8-10 page research paper. This paper must
    be analytical in nature and must be ​argumentative ​in nature. The research paper must be the standard length

    You MUST turn in a final draft of the argumentative research paper to pass this class.​ You must also submit
    both a rough draft and a final draft that contain consistent citation/documentation. Failure to do so will result
    in an automatic 0. I also will not read the draft. Finally, the citation you provide in your paper must match the
    Works Cited you submit. Failure to do so could also result in a failing grade on the draft.

    Please keep the following in mind as you write and submit work for this class:
    ● You may NOT recycle a paper from a previous/current course. If you do, you will receive a “0” on the
    paper.
    ● Any papers requiring research must be completed in ​MLA format​, NOT APA format. Failure to comply
    will result in no points on all research components of the scoring guide.
    ● For papers that require documentation/citation, you must include parenthetical documentation as well
    as a Works Cited page. Any pieces submitted without proper parenthetical documentation and a
    Works Cited page will receive a “0.”
    ● A final draft that is submitted and is identical (or shows little evidence of revision) to the second draft
    will result in a failing grade (50%).
    ● Each time you turn in your essay to Google Classroom, you will also need to submit it to
    www.turnitin.com. Failure to submit a draft of an essay to turnitin.com will result in failure of the
    assignment.
