Tips for Complete Sections

The list of tips posted here is intended to communicate what I look for when I review your Complete questions.

1) Be sure to meet the assignment requirements–don’t lose points for the easy things like word count/source count/source type/etc. 2) Use key facts/ideas/concepts/theories/etc. from the textbook and research articles to craft your answers to each question.

3) Be sure you focus your answer to each question on the question. Please note, sometimes questions have multiple parts–answer all parts.

4) Be sure you use separate sentences to distinguish your source information from your application. In other words, you should cite sentences where you are presenting the facts/ideas/concepts/theories/etc. from the textbook or research articles. Then, in the following sentences you’d explain how that concept applies with examples/application/critical thinking.I am looking at how you engage the reading/research material and how well you demonstrate competency on that material in your answers. All the questions are designed to let you use the material to craft an answer. So…analyze the question well first and figure out what part of the material (you should have read the material at that point!) you can use to answer the question.

PLEASE ENSURE YOU USE TOTAL OF THREE DIFFERENT REFERENCES AND ONE OF THEM CAN BE THE READING MATERIAL
