How
should a student format his or her work?
Format
of work
All
work should contain:
Top
of page on the left - your name with second name first e.g. Novak Jan and below
this your course
Top
of page on the right - my name and below it the final date of submission
Title
- it must be exactly as I state,
Use
only Times New Roman or Arial 12, you will be penalised if you do not adhere to
these rules
You
should use a spellchecker set on English UK (Word 2000 - Tools – Set Language),
as work with spelling mistakes looks very shoddy and non-academic.
Do
not use contractions: I am, not I`m
Use
English “speech marks”
Try
to avoid phrasal verbs as they are less academic (unless asked to do so)
Use
numbers: five not 5, twenty not 20
Email
– put your second name, course and submission month date/year in the subject of
all emails
e.g. novak_prak1_dec08
In
the body of the email mention why you are writing especially if it is a repeat
email.
Saving
– save all docs in .doc format, that means Word 2000 not docx, you can also
save and send in Wordpad this an rtf
file and is found in the accessories of Windows, however, often the format
changes in Wordpad.
All
files should be saved thus: name, course, submission date month/year e.g.
Novak_Prak1_Dec08
