WRITING FOR NEW MEDIA
Guide to Basics: Format and Submissions
This is the format for all the work you’re going to do for your Writing for New Media class. Read thoroughly and well. Format is a key part of your grade, and not following the format could mean minus points on your final marks. Not submitting where you’re supposed to will also mean not being able to get timely feedback, or worse, missing out on the chance to get a grade.
Format
- Write a title on everything you submit. It doesn’t matter if you’re not used to putting a title on a specific form. For this class, everything you write requires a title.
- The function of a title is to catch your readers attention. Don’t put a title just for the heck of it. Again: writing takes thoughtfulness and care. That includes the title.
- All submissions should be on standard letter size (8.5 X 11 inches).
- All submissions will be digital submissions, which is to say in Word Document. I will not check anything that’s in PDF.
- You can only use the following fonts for submissions: Times New Roman or Book Antiqua.
- Font size: 10.
- Spacing: 1.5 spacing for essays.
- Margins: 1-inch margins all around unless otherwise specified.
- ALL text submissions will be doc files unless otherwise specified.
- ALL submissions must be labelled in the following format: Last name, nickname_type of submission. For example: SantiagoKatrina_Reflection
Where and How To Submit
- We are using Google Drive for all submissions unless otherwise specified.
- You need to be the one to create your folder for submissions.
- Under the folder Class Submissions in our Writing Class folder. Go into the Class Submissions folder. Create a new folder. Label it with your last name and first name, i.e., Santiago, Katrina.
- Give ONLY ME permission to edit your folder and what it contains. My email address is mariakatrina.santiago@benilde.edu.ph.
- All your submissions will be put in this folder throughout the term, unless otherwise specified. ***
