Instructions for Submitting Final Exam
Type your exam submission within Microsoft Word. Use Arial or Times New Roman 12 point font, one-inch margins, double spacing and case step headings separating out your answers. Your final exam submission must be 12-15 pages typed (the cover page and references page are not included in the page count). Please save all file names with a .doc not pages or as a pdf. Three academic sources beyond the textbook must be used. Ensure you attach a references page and use APA referencing for any materials (paraphrased – put in your own words and for direct quotes). Ensure you use examples to support your answers (using your APA sources). Attach a cover page to the front of your submission with your name, student number, my name and date due. No resubmissions will be allowed to fix referencing or a lack of references page.
