Please make sure you use an easy to read font and clear formatting for all your assignments. All assignments must be edited before submission for typos, spelling errors, grammar and overall appearance. Opinions and commentary should be expressed in a formal register. Slang, such as “cool” and “dude” is not appropriate for an academic setting.
