Since showing your paper’s direction is critical, Make sure the assignment has a thesis for the paper. must have a clear thesis statement, as the last sentence of the introductory paragraph. You cannot state ‘this paper will do xxx” or have a statement of fact as the thesis. The thesis also cannot contain author information
Just as the thesis is important, you want to make sure that each body paragraph in a paper relates back to that thesis so that the paragraphs have focus. Thus, every paragraph must start with a topic sentence in the author’s own words. The topic sentence is like a mini-thesis, relating back to the main thesis, and will be the focus of that paragraph. You won’t want your paragraphs, for instance, to start with author information.
Avoid contractions, unfocused words like “it” and “they”, spelling errors, grammatical errors, and punctuation errors. All papers are expected to be spell-checked and are expected to use appropriate English writing techniques.
Remember that author information needs to be used appropriately. You would not start or end a paragraph in any assignment with author information or have author information following author information. Your own ideas need to be foremost in each body paragraph. A paragraph, as well as the papers and discussions, would be predominantly your own ideas. Your own ideas must be foremost. The conclusion cannot contain author information. Please note that papers and discussions may be run through turnitin.com to check for originality.
