Assignment: Format the attached unformatted essay into the appropriate style for your school (APA, MLA, or Turabian). You may use only your style guide and the formatting resources on the Regent University Writing Center website, which reflect current style manual edition changes.
NOTE: Turabian users MUST use footnotes, not endnotes or parentheticals, and DO NOT need to submit a table of contents. APA users do NOT need to submit an abstract.
CAUTION: This assignment will be graded according to the actual style manuals listed in the course syllabus. Formatting software is often incorrect, including the formatting features in Microsoft Word. Thus, assignments exhibiting errors because of these programs will be penalized accordingly. ALSO, this essay has been added to the SafeAssign database (plagiarism software used by Regent faculty). Should any essay you write while at Regent or elsewhere make use of the information contained therein, your essay will be flagged for potential plagiarism. Many universities use SafeAssign.
TIPS:
- Do not alter content. This is a formatting exercise only.
- Do not alter author’s generic name. This is a formatting exercise only.
- Do not correct for spelling or composition style. This is a formatting exercise only.
FYI: Because this is an openbook EXAM, you may NOT use University Writing Center appointments to complete the exam, only the resource page on the website. It is an expectation in this course that graduate students can navigate style manuals themselves.
