Instead, be clear, precise, and accurate in your writing.]

[Do not write with bullet points. Instead write in complete sentences developed within coherent paragraphs. Write clearly and concisely. Use transitional language to smoothly move the flow of the thought along throughout.]

[Apply APA formatting rules and adhere to APA writing style guidelines.

Here are two important self-assessment final steps to help ensure you do as well as you can with the assignment: When you complete your draft, read it aloud to yourself. This step can catch typos, grammar errors, awkward writing, etc. For a final step – self-assess your assignment by reviewing the corresponding scoring guide and compare the proficient and distinguished columns criteria to your draft and revise as necessary.]
