Assume that your audience is an intelligent reader or student who is not familiar with your specific paper topic. Do not use slang or colloquialisms; some readers whose first language is not English may not understand phrases such as "the system was wedged," Do not misuse terms or use those whose meanings are unclear, like "increased exponentially", or "steep learning curve." Check your grammar and spelling; if you need help expressing yourself, get help from GMU's Writing Center at http://writingcenter.gmu.edu Read the paper aloud to yourself or a friend to help you indentify misused words and phrases. Avoid jargon. Explain and reference concepts critical to your topic. Expand NTAs [Non-Trivial Abbreviations] on first use. Avoid meaningless marketing terms (like "seamless integration")

Grading;
Homeworks: 5 @ 20 points each 100
Midterm and one hour Final @ 100 each 200
Final paper and presentation at 100
each 200
Total 500
NOTE:
I do not assess the final grade by the final percentage but by your
position in the class; normally this means about one third receive A (+ or -) less
than two thirds receive Bs (including + and -) , and few [or none] get Cs
All work performed in this course will be subject to GMU's Honor Code. Students are expected to do their own work in the course. In papers and project reports, students are expected to write in their own words, rather than cutting-and-pasting from sources on the Internet or elsewhere. If you do use material from books, articles, or the Web, enclose the material in quotes and provide a reference. This should never be excessive! If a paragraph is used then it should be indented in the text (both left and right margins).
