What does the underlining in the D and F column mean about your work?

5 Good Habits for Evidence and the Rubric

Tip: If you are writing for a boss or professor who does not want citations, you can write citations with endnotes as you work. When done, you copy your file for the boss or professor and remove the endnotes. When your boss or professor demands proof on something, you will know the exact  page. If you need details, ask.

Would anyone pay you?

 

If you had problems with:

·         Citation, use
- Bedford 1
- and Bedford 2

·         “Half-copy” plagiarism, use Bedford 3

·         Quotations, use Bedford 4

 

Bedford 1, 2, 3, and 4 are at the bottom of the folder.
