(Professional writing tips:
WRITING TIPS:
*Structure: Remember to follow structure: Explain the scenario before you give your arguments, and write one topic per paragraph. See: Professional Writing Skills: Structure In any essay you write, always EXPLAIN the argument or topic first, using supporting quotes. Assume your reader does not know the case of Kitty Genovese. Then, in a separate paragraph critique, apply, or assess.
*Structure: The first sentence of paragraphs should include signposting.
*Content: Aim at writing SUFFICIENTLY. Give details and specific examples. Avoid general statements.
*Mechanics: Write in formal style and check your grammar. Paragraphs are 3-6 sentences long. Read your paper out loud to catch awkward, incomplete, or run-on sentences.
* Citation: Cite in paragraphs as (author’s last name, year of publication, page numbers). Include bibliography. See APA citation HELPSHEET.pdf
