· The Table of Contents which is a listing of the topics the written paper will cover

· The Executive Summary outlines the observations of the organization. The Executive Summary is the first section of the paper however it is the last section to be written.

· The reason for writing this section last is that you need to have written the entire document so that you are able to identify the key ideas the reader expects in the paper.

· REMEMBER the Executive Summary is for the EXECUTIVE. This means it needs to attract the Executive to either read the rest of the document or, more likely, refer the document to the appropriate staff person to read e.g. marketing, production, legal, etc.

Grammar and style. Papers must be written in proper English. Avoid colloquialisms, slang, contractions, sexist language, etc. Good grammar and appropriate style are essential; papers using poor grammar and style will lose points. Write in a narrative style; third person probably will be best, but use "I" when you refer to your thoughts, interpretations, observations, opinions, etc.

GET WRITING HELP IF YOU NEED IT -- AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!

Use appropriate transitions so that your narrative "flows" smoothly from one idea to the next. Clear, short sentences are always better than long, convoluted ones.

Proofreading. Proofread your paper before turning it in, especially to catch typographical errors. Better yet, exchange papers with someone in the class so that you can point out confusing parts or problems with mechanics and style in each other's paper.

Also, before you turn it in, make a photocopy of your paper. This protects you against the inadvertent loss, theft, or plagiarism of your paper.
