Points will be taken off your paper for the following reasons:
• Not following directions.
• Improper grammar, misspelling words, sentence fragments, and run on sentences. (Use spell and grammar check, please!)
• PLAGIARISM – the stealing of other people’s thoughts, ideas or information, and using them as your own. Also known as not giving credit where credit is due.
• Using run on or choppy sentences.
• Using “I”, “me”, or “you” statements in the paper. (No “your” or “you’re” either!)
• Using bad resources such as Wikipedia.
• Not providing a resource page, or not using citations in the body of the paper
• Not understanding the difference between: There, their and they’re.
“There” is a place. Ex. “Please put the vase there on the table.”
“Their” shows possession. Ex. “Their dog likes me and wants me to pet it.” “They’re is a contraction of “they” and “are”. Ex. “They’re going to the movies.”
• Not understanding the difference between “its” and “it’s”
“Its” shows possession: “The cat hurt its paw.”
“It’s” is a contraction of “it” and “is”. Ex. “It’s going to rain today.”
• Using an apostrophe (‘) to make something plural (meaning more than 1 of something). The apostrophe is used to show a contraction (example: don’t, it’s, can’t) OR to show possession of something (example: Mike’s car is really cool).
