Northern State University Are Women or Men Safer Drivers Discussion Follow the instruction that is written on the file. a. each paper must be typed/ printed 3 to 3 and a half pages in length, 12 pt; line spacing between 1 to 1.5 lines b. each paper must clearly state the question/issue, provide an answer or explanation or discussion, and make reference to the source (s) from which the answer/ explanation was obtained. c. logical discussion; there is no wrong or right answer for many issues in risk management and insurance. as long as your discussion supports your opinion, it is a good paper. I do not just expect to see the right answers (if any); instead the focus will be on your reasoning. d. do not forget to include references. e. concise and clear conclusion Herberger Business School

Below Expectations
Content is poorly developed.
Assertions are not supported by
evidence; details are absent or
vague. 1J.nclear wording reflects lack
of understanding of content. v11r1ttet1

assignment.

details 12resented in a
work lacks
beginning, development, and
conclusion. Organizational structure
and paragraphing have serious and
persistent errors.
Sentences fail to communicate
clearly. Writing has major
deficiencies in sentence structure
(awkwardness, run-ans, fragments,
comma splices) and word choice
(slang, there/their, which/that, etc.).
Errors in verb tense (past/present,
passive/active), person
(first/second), wordiness, and tone
interfere with meaninq.
Writing contains numerous errors in
grammar (subject-verb agreement,
pronoun-antecedent agreement,
clear referents, possessives/plurals,
etc.); punctuation (commas, colons,
semicolons, apostrophes,
parentheses, etc.); mechanics
(numbers, abbreviations, spacing,
format, etc.); spelling; or
proofreading. Errors are very
distracting or interfere with meaning.
