Final Exam Requirement

You must write questions correctly. No longer is there an excuse to leave out a "do" or "does" or forget to rearrange words for a question. You all use English well enough that this mistake will confuse people with whom you are talking.

"Why is the sky blue?" --If you write, "Why the sky blue?" <--Fail

"How does Homer keep his job at the Nuclear Power Plant?" --If you write, "How Homer keeps his job at the Nuclear Power Plant?" <--Fail

Etc.

(I won't really fail you, but I have talked about this problem a lot and I still see the mistakes with each assignment. Make it a priority to check for the problem.)
