Printing

For this course, all work will be submitted electronically.

Binding your script

If you need a print version of your script, do not staple it. The industry standard is to 3-hole punch the paper and bind it with 2 brass fasteners (brads). Use a brad in the top hole and in the bottom hole. Brads come in different lengths. The #5 brad (1.25 in.) is the right size for 90-120 page scripts.
