The format should be separated into parts and labeled  Part 1… Part 2… etc. Your textbook can serve as one of your reference sources. When you turn in your paper as an attachment make sure the file is labeled with the name of the plant you studied not the name of the assignment, please.

Before starting the paper, please re-read the Warning on Plagiarism in the first Module. I am VERY tough on this. Pay attention to the Turning score which will appear when you post your paper. Do not turn your paper in more than once or half your points will immediately be lost. If your Turning score is high and you wish to re-do the paper, you MUST contact me BEFORE re-submitting for a second time.

Important Note: There has been a growing tendency among students to share work with friends who take the same class after them. Please do not give your work to others! I do keep student papers and it is likely I will recognize the work which can result in a F in the class for your friend. Besides the grade issue, you are also depriving your friends of the learning experience.
