As you are graduate students, I will expect that your paper will be of submission quality. Your paper should be on a system administration topic area that you would like to follow up on. It should be at least five to seven pages, and certainly more are welcome. Some suggestions might be
Please print the paper single-sided, on lettersize (8.5 x 11) paper, and the text should be double-spaced. Please staple your paper. Please do not email me this paper, it should be handed to me in class on December 2nd.
In order to automate the process of finding plagiarism, we will also use TurnItIn. You must submit a copy of your paper before class on December 2nd to the TurnItIn system via Blackboard. This will be the only use of Blackboard we will make this semester.
As stated in the syllabus, no late submissions will be submitted.
The paper will be graded on adherence to formatting instructions, good grammar and punctuation, and, of course, your content.
