Assessment style and formatting should follow these rules:


Page layout

Paper size is A4 with margins of left 25mm, right 25mm, top 25mm, and bottom 25 mm (after references). All text, including headings, should be left aligned. A one line space should indicate new paragraphs. 

Text 

Text should be in 'Times New Roman' font, with a font size of 12 points. There should be a line spacing of 1.5. 

Quotations

Short quotations should be incorporated into the text and enclosed with double quotation marks. Quotations of more than about 40 words should be set off from the main text by indentation, without any quotation marks. This is known as a block quotation.

If you have any other questions about how to write assessments you may find the study skills section of Moodle helpful. If you still cannot find what you are looking for please contact Student Support through Moodle or via studentsupport@ac.edu.au
