Be sure to cover all the basics required in the explanation found in the syllabus.  Basically grading is based on :

Write a 10 page double space paper  (full pages written) original to this class.
Include all references posted in the research discussion board
use APA format for citing references
font size Times New Roman 12-14
include a title page and a reference page (word processors do it automatically via their template and create the reference page)
use an introduction and conclusion and paragraphs as per standard writing (use the writing lab and/or Smarthinking to help as needed).
Submit all work via the assignment link. Inside the assignment link work is submitted via the turnitin.com tool. Turnitin is a tool that scans all papers for plagiarism and provides a report. Any paper with more than 25% use of other people’s work will be required to be fixed before grading can take place. It is easier to write your own work, cite any sources correctly, and create the paper according to all the requirements. Any work not submitted via the turnitin.com link will receive a grade no higher than C.
submit on time – 10% penalty daily until it closes for late work.
due dates are posted under assignments.
