Writing Hints and Helps:
- Paragraph structure/depth of research:
- Minimum effort: Each paragraph contains two different citations and a minimum of five sentences.
- Strong effort: Each paragraph contains three or more different citations and seven to ten sentences.
- Avoid starting sentences with unclear antecedents such as "This, That, Those, It, etc. " Be specific to what "it" is.
- Economy of words: only use the amount of words that are needed. Avoid the fluff.
- Strengthen your writing voice: Remember that you are the author of this essay, and peer-reviewed citations and paraphrasing are your "support staff." For the most part, you should cite at the end of sentences.
- Instead of "Smith (2020) notes that the theory of XYZ supports ABC in that........."
- Say, "The theory of XYZ supports ABC in that........ (Smith, 2020)."
- If you start a sentence with "Research says...." or "Studies show....", follow up with a multiple citation supporting more than one piece of evidence. For example:
- "Research defines motivation as............. (Applebee, 2021; Smith, 2019)."
- Avoid using back-to-back citations (the same citation in multiple sentences in a row)
