The Kaplan Writing Center Please consider using the KU Writing Center for help on your final essay. They have a collection of handouts on all areas of writing (including APA citation and formatting), live tutoring help, non-live tutoring help, and a great paper-reviewing service. The tutors do not “fix” or “clean up” your paper; they offer fine support and send back a linked sheet that will take you directly to their handouts on writing issues. During the last weeks of B track, please allow at least five days to get your paper back; the center receives hundreds of papers during this busy time.

Deadlines and the Incomplete Grade Try to shoot for the Tuesday of Unit 9, Nov. 22nd, to turn in your final. Full comments will be given, along with the rubric. However, IF you really need more time, the extended deadline of the final is the Monday of Unit 10, Nov. 28nd at 11:59 pm, Eastern Time. These finals will be read and graded fairly with the rubric but will not be commented upon. There are no exceptions to this last deadline; the Tuesday of Unit 10 is too late. Finals are not allowed to be revised unless they have large Turnitin matches to source material (plagiarism) AND time before the extended deadline. The deadline for all late DB make-up work and Option 2 seminars is also Monday, Nov. 28th, at 11:59 PM ET. me what you make-up. Those who have fallen behind due to personal emergencies AND are otherwise passing the course (over 60%) may ask me for the Incomplete Grade. This allows a student about two more weeks after Unit 10 is over to turn in the work. The deadline to petition (ask me) is Monday, Nov. 21 st. The work is due Dec. 9 th.

Internal or “In-text” Citation for Paraphrasing: Concerned parents must look at many factors when considering why their children are overweight. Some lifestyle changes may be in order for the whole family (Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, 2004, p. 1-2). Our own words, yes, but the source’s ideas! We MUST give them credit!

Chang describes three signs to look for: “...
