BEST PRACTICES FOR SUBMISSIONS 

• Assignments are due by 12 midnight on the end of the above-listed dates.
• Assignments must be sent via email to inathenson@stu.edu.
• Assignments must be submitted in Microsoft Word format.
• Because all materials are to be submitted electronically, please use the following formatting conventions:
  • When I print materials out, I need to know who submitted the document and when it was submitted. In the text of documents:
    • Your name and the date should appear on the first page of each document.
    • For drafts, the title should also appear on the first page of each document.
  • File names: over the course of the semester, I accumulate many files from students, so it is important that students use consistent file name practices to each filing of student documents.
    • For topic: file name should be last name, underscore, topic dot doc (or docx). Ex: Nathenson_topic.docx.
    • For thesis/outline/sources: file name should be last name, underscore, thesis dot doc (or docx). Ex: Nathenson_thesis.docx.
    • For first draft: file name should be last name, underscore, draft1 dot doc (or docx). Ex: Nathenson_draft1.docx.
    • For final draft: file name should be last name, underscore, final dot doc (or docx). Ex: Nathenson_final.docx.
