Principles of Submitting Assignments


=
1.  Assignments should be submitted ON TIME. __**No delay submission is acceptable**__. =====

=
---2) **Electronic forms** : Electronic files should be Microsoft Word documents. They should be emailed to the instructor's account (yicc@nccu.edu.tw ) __**one day before class**__. =====

=
3. Name the electronic files by assignment #, your student ID #, and your Chinese name. For example:“ **Essay1_98765432_王大同****.doc** ” __**Incorrect file names may cause your assignments failed to be received**__. =====

=
4. Be careful of __plagiarism__. Since the capability of giving proper citation is one of the most important criteria of this class, any“copy and paste”works will cause your failure in this class. (The definition of plagiarism and the ways to avoid it will be mentioned during the semester.) =====

Quoted from C. Cheng (2008). //English Composition//, p.95-96


=
2. Leave a margin on all sides of the page. You should leave at least one inch (2.5 cm) of blank space on the top, bottom, left side and right side of each page that you write. =====

=
8. Punctuation marks (including**, . ? ; – :** ) should appear after a word. You should never put one of these marks as the first character in a line. If you have to choose between putting one of these marks at the end of a line or the beginning of the next line, always put it at the end of the previous line. =====

=
10. Only hyphenate words at the boundaries between syllables. Do not hyphenate if splitting the word results in a syllable with only one single letter. =====

=
11. Do not spell words incorrectly. Use your computer's **//spellchecker//** function. =====
