Students are required to follow APA Style guidelines.
I will be using the writing rubric (see below) to grade all written work during the class. Please make sure that you are using the writing rubric to use as a checklist for all your academic writing in this class and throughout your educational experience at AMU.
Do not include quotes in your work. I want to see your critical thinking skills on display and not a string of quotes written by published authors. Your thoughtful recommendations and analysis is what is needed for a successful recommendation/paper.
At this point in your educational journey you should have solid substance and proper academic formatting in your college level writing assignments. Students will be graded on both so make sure you turn in your best work.
Do not wait to the last minute to research, write, format, and edit. Proper time management is required to turn in a quality paper that highlights your criminal justice writing.
