anti-racism education.

Rubrics will be used to grade your work.  Assignments should be written in the format of the most current edition of the APA manual.  Each paper must be submitted via Blackboard (Safeassign link in unit) and emailed copies will not be accepted.  Please use a Microsoft Word format to submit papers (no PDFs or other programs please).  Policies in regard to turning work in late also apply to these assignments.
Each written assignment will consist of a paper that is at least 4-5 full pages.  Each paper must be double spaced with size 12 Times New Roman font and 1-inch margins on all sides.  You will need to follow the example provided under course information and need a title page, body (at least 2-3 full pages), and reference section all in APA style.  Please note, the title and reference pages do not count toward the page requirements.  Please use complete sentences, appropriate grammar, spelling, and references.  You will also be required to use in-text references in your work in accordance with APA style to avoid plagiarism.  Information to help with your writing is provided under the APA resources section of the course information tab.
Please be sure to avoid using internet sources such as Wikipedia or other web-based resources that do not have strong academic backing.  You must use at least 3 additional scholarly sources not used in this course.  Plagiarism detection software will be used to scan each paper and any paper that is determined to have academic integrity issues will earn a score of 0 automatically.
