For out-of-class assignments (as opposed to handwritten, in-class assignments), I expect you to follow the rules of Edited Standard Written English (ESWE), which means using correct punctuation, verb forms, verb tense, subject/verb agreement, pronoun form, use of apostrophes and the suffixes, quotation marks, spelling (a typo counts as a misspelling), and proper sentence sense (no words omitted, scrambled, or incomprehensible).

All homework assignments must be typed and double-spaced, with margins no greater than 1" all around and a legible font of 10 to 12 point. The top corner (preferably left) should reflect the student's name, the class (i.e., BUS-18A, M/W), the date submitted, and an identifier for the assignment being submitted (e.g., Ch 1, #1, 4, and 6). Multiple page submissions are to be stapled at the top left.

The assigned question(s) is/are answered completely, and the answer(s) provided is/are logical and consistent with related information as set forth in the text and/or match the actual court outcome.  No more than one ESWE error per page; all housekeeping rules met.

The assigned question(s) is/are answered completely, and the answer(s) provided is/are logical and relatively consistent with related information as set forth in the text and matches the actual court outcome or has a logical, supportable argument in favor of an alternate outcome, and/or averages two to three ESWE errors per page and/or one unmet housekeeping rule.

The assigned question(s) is/are answered completely, and the answer(s) provided is/are relatively consistent with related information as set forth in the text.  May not match the actual court outcome, but has a logical, supportable argument in favor of an alternate outcome, but work has more than three ESWE errors per page and/or two or more housekeeping rules are not met.

The assigned question(s) is/are not answered completely and/or the answer(s) provided is/are inconsistent with related information as set forth in the text, does not match the actual court outcome or the argument in support of an alternate outcome is seriously flawed, and/or has more than three ESWE errors per page and/or two or more housekeeping rules are met.

There are major logic flaws (e.g., the writer contradicts him/herself), there are more than four ESWE errors per page and/or multiple housekeeping rules are unmet.

On multiple question assignments, not all questions were answered and those that were answered contained flaws found in criteria 9 thru 6, the wrong (unassigned) questions were answered, or the work was generally incomprehensible to the instructor.
