Any written work (such as answers to specific project questions) should be answered in a Word document. Excel work turned in should be formatted such that the information can be easily reviewed, as if presenting to an employer.

Significant instructor time spent looking for an answer will result in a reduction in score. Care should be taken to ensure that any assignment turned in for credit is neat in appearance. Any commonly acceptable writing style (e.g., APA) may be utilized, but grades will be lowered on assignments for work that includes misspelled words, grammatical errors, etc.
