2 Each time you pause while writing this and when you have

finished, click on the Word Ribbon’s Review tab, click on Editor,

go through the document. Use your judgment in accepting

suggested corrections.

3 The assignment needs a 250-500-word rationale that is worth up to

60 points. Select the rationale text, click on the Review tab, click

on word count. If it is not within the required word range, then edit

it to bring it within that range. The assignment must align with the

Rubric. Open the rubric and ask yourself if you would give your

intended submission target grade in each component. If not, then

edit and improve it.

A frequent error is confusing students, student’s, and students’

This table should reduce that confusion

If these fit > they or them their or theirs his, her, or hers

Use > students students’ student’s

4 See the Topic 2 Check Sheet, item 4, for guidance on required text

format, including APA 7 compliance for citations and References

entries. Checking and correcting these issues can make the

difference between a lower grade and a target grade.

6 Ask a friend to critically proofread your draft. From personal

experience, I know every writer can easily miss their own errors. A

friend catches them much better.

7 Make all required corrections.
