Consider the personal reasons that led you to buy this book. How would you assess your visualization skills, your interests in this subject and maybe your role or duties? What help are you seeking and what do you hope to achieve? What aspects of your visualization capability do you feel is most lacking? This kind of personal assessment will help frame your focus during your reading of the book and offer a means of assessing the value of the book once you have finished it.
Assignment Length (word count): At least 500 words (not including direct quotes).
Please make sure that the Discussion is APA formatted, citations and references, as well (At least two peer-reviewed, scholarly journal references.) By submitting this discussion, you agree for Plagiarism check with all the existing internal student papers and outside external references.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
