Tips for successful paper writing:
    Contractions in formal papers are highly discouraged (e.g., dont, cant, Ill), please spell these words out (e.g., do not, cannot, I will).
    Make sure that your thoughts make sense and that you have explained them in full. Often students are on the cusp of a great idea or thought and they stop short. Make sure you fully articulate your thoughts.
    Part of successful academic writing is to concisely explain what your sources found but then add your own critique and analysis. I want to read your thoughts and reactions to these issues. Your thoughts and reactions can be strengthened if you support them by empirical research.
    Avoid using direct quotes. Try to paraphrase what the author is saying. When you explain something though paraphrasing it shows you understand the material at a deeper level than if you just quoted.
