Class Style Guide

Here's the list of things we've gone over in class that I'd like to you follow as the semester progresses.

I'll be adding to it each week as we go along. Please refer to it often and make sure you understand all the entries.

• Capital letters: Don't capitalize any word unless you have a specific reason to do so.

Generally, there are three reasons to use capitals:

- At the beginning of a sentence.

In the beginning...

- For proper nouns such as the name of a city, nation, or person.

Argentina.

Mexico City.

Jimmy Carter.

- A title or job description that directly precedes someone's name.

Manchester Police Chief David Mara.

Adjunct Professor Boris Karloff.

Otherwise, keep your writing lower case.

• Names on papers. : Always include your full name somewhere on any assignment passed in.

On any class assignment, lack of a name will be subject to a deduction of 10 points from the score.
