Instructions

Write an essay about the exploration of Venus; include details about past missions, potential future missions, and the current state of our knowledge about this planet.

WRITING EXPECTATIONS

All written submissions should be submitted in a font and page set-up that is readable and neat. I recommend students try to adhere to a consistent format as described below.

Typewritten in double-spaced format, Times New Roman 12-point font, 3-4 pages in length, submitted as a .doc or .docx attachment (unless other arrangements have been approved by the professor).

Page margins Top, Bottom, Left Side and Right Side = 1 inch, with reasonable accommodation being made for special situations and online submission variances.

Proofread your paper carefully before submitting it. I expect the paper to be free from spelling, punctuation, grammar and factual errors.

CITATION AND REFERENCE STYLE

Assignments completed in a narrative essay or composition format must follow the APA format. Note: The APUS library has excellent resources on research papers — research, outlines, formatting, etc..

LATE ASSIGNMENTS

For each day that an assignment is late, ten percentage points may be deducted from your grade for the assignment unless the student contacts the instructor ahead of time about an extenuating situation.
