Carol,
I use the OWLPURDUE link in my instructions, also. Good point. Additionally, my verbiage to encourage them to use the resources and abide by the required format is to indicate that they may choose to obtain the points for correct submission, or not: "Please remember, it is your choice to follow these instructions and to get the most points for your weekly assignment(s), or not to fulfill the requirements and have points deducted. Please allow me to give you the maximum points possible for your work."
