◦ Cite material supporting ideas proposed.   Why citing is important. It is important to cite sources used in research for several reasons: To show the reader each student has done the proper research by listing sources used to get information. To be a responsible scholar by giving credit to other researchers and acknowledging their ideas.  It is not about an opinion one has; it is about supporting ideas expressed while giving credit for those ideas.

◦ Software solutions

▪ APA Perrla – http://www.perrla.com/APADetails.aspx listen to the short video.

▪ Grammarly – www.grammarly.com.  Grammarly makes one a better writer by finding and correcting up to 10 times more mistakes than a word processor. Bob uses this personally and uses the software for evaluating papers.   Most of the students are not English majors, and most do not have access to an editor and having Grammarly is like having a full-time editor.
