Please consider when writing as this is part of the instructor’s guidance.

• Make sure there are two spaces between sentences
• Do no use the word ‘it.’
• Do not use the word ‘that’ more than two times in your essay. The word is overused and not needed.
• Do not use contractions (e.g., Don’t = do not)
• Introduce the full name before the acronym. (e.g., Return on Investment (ROI), Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT))
• General Rule – Use words for number zero to nine and numerals for all number over ten.
• Use active voice because active verbs are more effective for the reason that they are simpler and more direct. NO PASSIVE VOICE
• Do not begin a sentence with “And” or “But.” These words make your writing seem too informal and conversational.
• Do not use empty words such as very, extremely, must, etc. In formal writing, you need to be precise. These words are better suited for novels, not scholarly writing.
• Ensure a page or paragraph number is listed for any direct quote reference. e.g, (Lastname, year, p. #) Note only last name is needed for the citation in the paper. If you paraphrase a source, no need to list the page or paragraph. e.g. (Lastname, year). If your source does not have an author’s last name and/or date published, then good chance that it is not a scholarly source. Do not use it.
• Ensure that punctuation is after the parentheses of a citation, not before. Unless a direct quote is 40 words or more, then the quote must be blocked, indented, and single-spaced or double-spaced. Do not use quotation marks and the punctuation is before the parentheses of the citation.
• Have only 1″ margins for the TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, and RIGHT sides of the paper.
