Please consider the following as a general guide of what is expected within all assignments:
- Title Page [see Walden University Template for formatting].
- Introduction [required]: When drafting a formal, scholarly or academic paper alway start with an introduction. The introduction immediately orients any audience to the paper's purpose. IE: The following is a selection of articles on fair hiring practices. Each source will be annotated to inform an audience of the general focus and scope of the sources.......
- Articles [if a bibliography] each article or research source is listed by formal reference. Immediately thereafter, the author of the bibliography gives a concise overview of the article and/or reference's content and purpose [one paragraph]. The bibliography continues with what the writer has gleamed from the source as relevant to the paper's purpose [see introduction above].
OR
-Content [assignments other than annotated bibliographies] using APA formatted headings, hold the hand of your audience assisting through topical transitions allowing them to follow and anticipate.
- Summary [required]: having considered a topic, looking at varied sources to learn about the topic synthesize the sources into a few summary statements. Continuing with the example: The selection and review of articles on fair hiring practices makes evident some of the most common errors to avoid are.....OR...a couple of statements threading together what has been learned by your scholastic engagement of the content.
PRONOUNS: Note in the above instructions not a single demonstrative or personal pronouns appears.Overuse of pronouns is considered a potential "...affront to clarity an can exclude a passive audience (APA 7.0)."
APA Tutorial: Do not lose valuable points in grading by excluding core elements or avoiding headings necessary to facilitate audience access or by including pronouns limiting and/or prohibiting audience access. Please focus upon the misuse/overuse of pronouns considered an "affront" upon clarity with academic/scientific/formal writing. Pronouns potentially exclude your audience and unnecessarily conceal critical content. Take a look at an example;
WRONG: This information was prepared to make clear that those critical polices of the agency you must follow when hiring somebody..
RIGHT: The brief, informational brochure presents the mandatory policies of the Federal Office of Discrimination when engaging hiring processes.
