Assignment

Writing Laboratory

In addition, working in tandem with the writing laboratory will give the student an opportunity to assess/scrutinize his/her written work that will ultimately result in earning a satisfactory grade. Therefore, in order to earn the total points for this portion of the assignment, the student must verify that contact has been made with the writing tutor in the Center for Academic Success’s (CAS) Tutoring Lab. Information about the Tutoring Lab can be found on Brightspace (Desire2Learn [D2L]) or at .

I recommend setting an appointment with the tutor for 30 minutes to 01 hour to discuss your paper. English Tutor Consultation Verification Form, which is located in D2L under this assignment tab, must be signed by the English tutor, which verifies that you attended a writing session with the tutor. Also, the tutor should notate at least two areas of improvement that was focused on throughout the paper. Students should strongly encourage and reemphasize to the tutor to write comments on the paper as students will have to submit the marked paper with the final version of the paper as electronic and hard-copies by the appropriate deadline.

Plagiarism

Last, the final version of the paper must reflect 30% or less in plagiarized work based on the report provided by Turnitin.
