Other Things That Can Affect My Grade
Plagiarism: The SafeAssign link that all students are required to use scans for plagiarism. Students get only one submission attempt,
so make sure you put it all in your own words. This is a subjective paper, so it should be all in your own words. More than that, and I
usually start counting off 1 point per 1% over.
Paper Length: Make sure your paper is at the very least 750 words or I start counting off 1 point for each 10 words too short.
