Mr. Munzel's standards for work
submitted.
Daily textbook assignments:
Your first and last names are required on all written work. If you
leave off your
last name or fail to put your name on your paper, points will be
subtracted from
your score using this scale: in the first quarter = -1pt.; in the
second quarter
= -2pts.; in the third quarter = -3pts.; in the fourth quarter = -4 pts.
All daily textbook classwork may be handwritten neatly using pen or
pencil. Avoid
silver or other metallic inks as well as pastel shades when writing
your answers
because they make it difficult to read large text blocks on white
binder paper.
All daily textbook homework may be handwritten neatly or typed. Avoid
silver or
other metallic inks as well as pastel shades. They make it difficult to
read large
text blocks on white binder paper.
If typing and printing your work, use only serif fonts, such as New
York, Times,
etc. All font faces should be in a plain style. All font sizes used for
text blocks
should be 12pt . Headings and titles may be in larger sizes and in
other font styles
and in other font faces. Use space and a half or double spacing. Print
on white bond paper only, using black ink for all
text blocks.
Reports or Research Papers
When doing a report you should type it. If you cannot type it contact
Mr. M. immediately.
When you print your report use only black ink on plain white paper.
Your report should be double spaced (space and a half will work for
some fonts).
Use only serif fonts, such as New York, Times, etc. All font faces
should be in
a plain style. All font sizes used for text blocks should be in 12pt .
Headings
and titles only may be in larger sizes and in other font styles and in
other font
faces and in easily legible ink colors.
You must cite the sources from which you took your information in
footnotes (if you will be attending Paly next year) or using in-line
citations (if you will be attending Gunn next year) and in a
bibliography. Acceptible formats are available in the JLS Library.
All pages, except the title page, must be paginated (have page numbers
on them).
All pages must be attached by stapling, binding, or other method. Paper
clips cannot
be relied upon to keep your work together. Mr. M. is not responsible
for pages lost
due to faulty connectors.
A title page must be attached to the report/paper and must have the
title of the
report/paper, your first and last names, and the period of your social
studies class
clearly visible on the front.
Quizzes and Tests
You should keep a number 2 leaded pencil with you at all times. Most
mechanical
pencil leads are number 2 hardness but you may want to check the
package to be sure. Many tests and quizzes are given on Scan Tron forms
which require number 2 lead
to be scored correctly. Failure to use the correct lead may result in a
lower score.
Short answers and fill in type test/quiz items may be completed using
either pen
with dark blue or black ink or dark leaded pencil.
Essay test/quiz items may be completed using either pen with dark blue
or black ink
or dark leaded pencil.
Personal preference clause
You may always choose to do an assignment in your own way to express
your individuality. However, Mr. M. is under no obligation to read,
score, or grade papers which do
not conform to the above standards or to the specific assignment's
requirements.
If you fail to follow the above standards, your work may be returned to
you to redo
in the acceptable way. On occasion, it may not be possible to allow you
the extra
time to "get it right" and at those times your score will be a zero.
