SLP Assignment Expectations in order to earn
full credit
Please write your
paper in your own words. That is the only way I can evaluate your level of
understanding. Quotes are rarely needed; if necessary, they should comprise
less than 10% of a paper and must be properly cited.
Even though the
papers must be written in your own words, you are required to cite sources for
any statement of fact or idea that is not common knowledge. You are required to
cite the sources within the body of the paper and include a reference list at
the end of the paper.
Note: Wikipedia is
not an acceptable source of information. Use credible, professional, and
scholarly sources such as journal articles from ProQuest or EBSCO, and
government, university, or nonprofit organizations’ web sites.
For each module as
a whole, you must clearly show that you have read the module homepage and the
required background materials. You are welcome to do research in addition to —
but not instead of — the required readings.
Your papers will
be evaluated on the following factors:
•References – citations are used within the body of the paper any
time you state a fact or idea that is not common knowledge and a reference list
is included at the end of the paper.
•Precision – you follow all instructions and you answer each part of
the assignment.
•Breadth – you show broad knowledge of the module’s topic.
•Depth – you go into detail to show more critical thought about the
specific assignment.
•Clarity – the extent to which you elaborate and include discussion
or examples as asked.
•Application – the extent to which you apply the information to a
real-life situation related to the assignment, if asked.
