The most important part of the Critical Thinking writing assignment is content; however, you are expected to use clear, and concise writing on all assignments. 

Grades will be affected by poor use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.  The paper must be 4-6 pages, double-spaced, 12 pt. font, and you must follow all guidelines for APA.  The following pages do not count towards the overall number count: Title page, abstract page, reference page, and your answers to the reflective questions.
