SPARTANS,

1) Reading Response Directions

Please take note of the suggestions and directions for RR posted today and on 22 June.

Please make sure you have the proper heading on your assignment (Blog entry: 4 July), and assignment title centered below the heading and in your e-mail subject line.

Please also start parenthetically citing any quoted information, as some of you have already begun doing. For example, at the end of a sentence using a quote to answer #1, a student would add the following at the end of the sentence before the period: (Kennedy, Cohen & Bailey, 2002, p. 44). This is APA format, not MLA which you are using for your mini-research papers.

DO NOT wait until July 15 to begin this assignment. It is due in my e-mail inbox at spartan.hoa@gmail.com by 11:59pm (Pacific Time) on 15 July 2008. Anything received after this time will get no credit/0 points.
