Instructions for the Midterm Written Examination:
1. This assignment is for individual students. The essay answer must not be longer than 1500 words in
length. Use A4-sized paper, with one-inch margins in all four sides. Write the number of words
comprising the answer essay on the right margin beside the last line of your answer. Use Calibri font,
size 11, with 1.5 spacing for the answer part, and single spacing for the rest. If you go beyond one sheet,
please paginate on the upper right hand corner part of the margin, using the format “X of Y” (X=current
page; Y=total number of pages.).
2. Write the question or topic you have chosen at the beginning of the paper, using single spacing.
Skip two lines after the question/topic, then begin with your answer essay. If you want to provide a title,
go ahead and do so. No question/topic at the beginning = automatic F.
3. Construct a well-written essay as your answer to the question. Make sure to employ proper
grammar, syntax, vocabulary, spelling, and punctuation. Write in complete sentences, making sure they
should flow from one to another in meaning and development. Ensure that your paragraphs are
properly constructed. Clarify all important terms. Go directly to what you really want to say, and make
sure that each of your sentences directly respond to the question. Say everything you need to say, but
only say what you need to say; nothing more, nothing less. Always say what you need to say in the
simplest, most effective way.
4. Cite all your sources in the clearest, most accurate and complete way. Mention all your sources in
footnotes, and affix a bibliography after you’ve concluded your essay. Avoid all possible cases of
plagiarism. All cases of plagiarism will automatically merit the grade of “F,” and a case shall be filed
against you with the ADSA/Committee on Discipline.
5. Skip two lines after you have written your last line. Write your full name (surname first), year and
course, class and section, date, and the kind of requirement (Midterm Written Examination) flush left, in
one column. Use only single spacing for this information.
6. If your essay goes beyond one page, please staple all your pages in the right order, on the upper
left hand corner.
7. Pass your file copy (in PDF format) to our Turnitin account on Monday, October 29, 2018 before
9:00pm (21:00h). Pass the print out of the exact same PDF file into my “pigeonhole” at the second floor
of Dela Costa Hall on Monday, October 29, 2018, before 9:00pm (21:00h). If any of these version of the
paper was not passed according to the right time and venue, the student will receive an automatic “F”
for this requirement.
8. Use A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 6th edition (or later), by Kate L.
Turabian (a.k.a. “Turabian”) as your guide for the format of citations and the bibliography.
