Tips to be successful

A few things I look for that will enhance your scores on the papers: 1) Paragraph Structure: ensure that your paragraphs are not overly wordy, meaning each of these should not be more than five to six sentences long max. On the flip side, one to two sentences are not a full paragraph. At least a three sentence minimum should be followed. Optimal paragraph size is five sentences, then, start a new one. 2) Use of paragraph topic headers: Use the key concepts and assignment questions from each of the assignment instructions as topic headers for your paragraphs. By doing so, this will enable your paper to flow well and ensure that you have not left any required content out. 3) You must meet the word count minimums. Title pages and references don’t count towards the minimums. There is no penalty for exceeding the word count maximums. If you have any questions about any of these areas just let me know. I look forward to working with you all.
