Some items to avoid when writing papers for Prof. Limandri:
-Use of passive voice incorrectly. See APA pg 41 and 42. It is rarely acceptable in papers for school to use passive voice, even though many teachers prefer it. In most cases passive voice makes the subject of the action ambiguous.
-Use of incorrect tense. Something appearing in an article is always past tense even though the reader is reading now.\
-Quotes. Use sparingly and only when it is a critical point to make. Instead, paraphrase to demonstrate understanding of another’s points.
-Citations. Use only for articles or references actually mentioned in the paper. Please don’t pad or use secondary sources as if they are primary.
Some items to include:
-Headings to guide the reader and should match the grading guidelines.
-Track changes. Learn how to use it in MS Word.
-Use spell check and grammar check as an initial guide to proofreading.
