I've been stealing your format assignments for a few weeks now, and my
students have found them extremely helpful. I also think it speeds up
grading because students are using a consistent format, and I know
where to look for specific information
I vote that we require all students to follow a consistent format for
the remaining brief assignments. It not only helps us grade, but it
ensures students submit all the required assignment information.
Mark, would you be willing to create formats for BAs8-10?
I've pasted the BA7 format below in case y'all don't know what I'm
talking about.

I agree with Ryan that Mark's prompts rock. But, I hate for Mark to
take on extra work, while I reap the rewards. Is there anything extra
I can to do help out the group? Please let me know. You all are so
hardworking, and I want to make sure I'm doing my share.

I don't have a problem making up the formats. It only takes a few
minutes to do, and I'm happy that it's helping the group out! I'll
make an effort to put them out a little earlier so you can all review
them and tweak them if necessary.
