Checkpoint

Please click on the Week 1 Checkpoint tab to complete this assignment. You can access your Checkpoint as often as you like throughout the week, but be sure to click Save Answers at the end of every session so that your work is retained.

To successfully complete your Checkpoint each week, you will need to be familiar with the APA style guide for writing your citations. Plagiarism means using the words and/or thoughts of someone else, without giving them credit. This is perceived as stealing. Making a habit of including citations in your work is important; it is required in assignments in this class, as well as in all other DeVry classes.

If you have any questions concerning how to do in-text citations or a List of References page, please contact me! As with all professional and academic writing, your paragraphs should include complete sentences and correct punctuation, and they should be spell- and grammar-checked in Word prior to submitting your work.

See Syllabus "Plagiarism and Undergraduate Citations" for information on APA style and plagiarism.
