Guidelines for written assignments
We will be focusing on writing skills in tutorials. Nevertheless, be sure to download, print and consult the handout “How
to write a paper” available on the course website, for presentation format, and other useful tips on grammar and style.
We will use this handout in the tutorials. As final year students, you are expected to know and be able to use correct referencing
techniques. If you are in any doubt in this regard, seek help BEFORE your first assignment is due. You are also advised to
seek the help of the writing centre on campus.
Be sure to follow these guidelines for your assignments:
1. Turn in two copies of your paper.
2. Papers must be typed. No handwritten papers will be accepted.
3. Do not put your name on your paper, only your ID number.
4. No plastic or manila file jacket covers. They will be discarded. Just staple the paper at the top left corner.
5. Make sure you have a hard copy of your paper for yourself, just in case.
6. Number your pages.
7. Put your ID number on each page.
8. If there is not enough space on one of the end pages for comments, leave a blank page for comments.
9. Cover page to be set out as follows (exactly!)
