Grading Notes for ALL Papers:
- Grammar and Structure do matter
- Pay attention to Tone & Diction, use formal language for academic work unless otherwise instructed.
- Watch Organization and Structure within each sentence and paragraph.
- Re-read your work Before you turn it in!
- You do not need to include a title pg. or headings unless I indicate it in the essay instructions.
- You must ALWAYS cite your sources, preferably on a separate reference page.
- When citing, use APA or MLA format. If you are not sure, look them up, or, review them. ASK!
- I recommend using the format that your major/discipline will use in your work setting so that you begin to learn it.
- Good reference for citing: Rules for Writers, Diane Hacker & Nancy Sommers
