Procedure for Presentation and Submission of Assignments

Bayan College seeks, through using one style format, to maintain consistency throughout all assignment submitted for assessment. By having rules to follow, uniformity is assured, and misunderstandings are minimized. APA rules also help instructors in their reading and grading of assignment and papers. These rules act as guidelines so instructors can easily look for necessary components of an assignment or paper instead of caviling about minor concerns, like grammatical or style rules. Moreover, the strict adherence to APA is due in part to the potential publication of students’ work, as many journals within the social science realm require articles to follow the APA style in their publications
