addresses every possible mistake that could be made, but it will bring common mistakes to your attention.

• Is your paper double spaced? • Are necessary abbreviations explained?

• Are references cited in-text present on your reference list? Remember that the website itself is a source.

• Did you include in-text citations for all the resources you used? Only references used to support your writing should be on your reference list.

• Numbers ten and below should be spelled out.

• Are quotes referenced correctly in-text? Quotes should be used sparingly. There should be no more than one quote in a three-page paper.

• Are your sources presented properly on your reference list? Pay close attention to indention rules and capitalization rules.

• Is your title page presented according to APA format?

• Is there a page break inserted for the reference page?

• Did you include an appropriate running heading for your paper?

• Did you proof your paper and have another person proof your paper before submitting the paper?

Writing assignments are taken quite seriously. Graduate students are expected to write clearly and concisely, and the order of your thoughts should

be logical. Know that each paper is read with these things in mind. If your writing is wordy or if you use awkward phrasing it will impact the format, style

and grammar portion of your grade.
