Bah, I think I may have fucked up my Comp Exam big time. The formatting rules was contained to this bullet point:
The essays should follow the APA style and manuscript guidelines. (Legal material can be cited in the format acceptable for Professor Pullin’s classes.) APA guidelines include double-spacing between all lines of the manuscript, uniform margins of 1 inch at the top, bottom, right, and left of every page, numbered pages and no more than 25 lines of text on an 8 1/2 X11 inch page. Indicate the question number before each essay.
I didn't know if I needed to cite and do a bibliography or not...
I emailed the person who was listed to direct questions to, and I didn't get a response from him till just now (an hour after the exams were due)
I ended up not using citations or submitting a bibliography because it was throwing off my word count like whoa, and upon careful parsing I figured that probably I didn't need to.
So I got this response:
Do not worry about the citation format for the exam. If you are writing a paper or a dissertation, it is important for proper citations. As long as you identify sources, you are OK.
I did NOT IDENTIFY SOURCES. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nora, keep the emails. If you are marked down for not having sources, show the emails and let them know that you asked for guidance, but it was not provided.

OK. I guess if I fail on account of this, I can appeal. We shall see. Thanks.

OK, feeling less nauseous. After I replied that I hadn't cited the sources, I got this response:
Do not worry. If your arguments are properly presented, I am sure that readers will allow your positions. I will let the faculty know your problem.

Oh, Nora, that's a little encouraging. My heart sank when I read your first post!
Happy Birthday, Amy! Hope it's a fabulous day!

Yeah- I've been kicking my own ass for being so stupid. I even had it set up with citing sources and a bibliography and everything then decided not to include it. I can't believe I was so stupid to assume that I shouldn't include it.

{{{Nora}}} You worked so hard this weekend! I really hope it all works out. MWAH!
So, I did get one response on the room, so I'm feeling a little encouraged this morning. I was so anxious last night that I couldn't sleep. That was fun!
