6. ["' '"] Use double quotes unless already inside double quotes. (0,12)
9. [13] Do not overuse any one of the many ways (at least 13) of combining sentences. Vary sentence length and structure.

Down1. [caption] Captions for Figures and Tables.:Type at the left margin "Figure 1" (bolded) and then on the next line, in italics, give the title of your figure in Title Case (no ending periods needed for either).Place your figure below these two lines (left aligned).Any further information can be provided in a note below as "Note. Additional information here." Observe that the "Note" is in italics, followed by a period and that the rest is in sentence case. An in-text citation should appear at the end of an in-text reference to the figure; ex. "As seen in Figure 1, the swan lands gently in the water . . "(Smith, 2001, para. 23). (0,7)
2. [;] Semicolons(;) require two independent clauses (two full sentences) on either side (except in cases when used for making lists - see below). Semicolons (;) are best used with conjunctive adverbs; otherwise, the relation between the two independent clauses needs to be clear and specific (perhaps a third meaning can be implied). (0,15)
3. [DM] Beware of "dangling modifiers." A modifying word or phrase should always be placed adjacent to what it modifies. In the following example, "Entering the room, the chairs were in disarray," it sounds like the chairs entered the room. The thing that enters the room must immediately follow that phrase: "Entering the room, the students found the chairs in disarray." Also, be wary of "misplaced modifiers," qualifiers that are not next to their referents: "I ate just my cake." and "I just ate my cake." mean two different things. (0,38)
4. [:] Colons (:), the closest thing to an = sign in the English language, are used to introduce lists, definitions, and quotations. The colon (:) should be preceded by an independent clause (a full sentence). (0,12)
7. [DS] Double space everything in your paper. (0,11)
8. [DL] delete (0,6)
10. [EN] A conclusion must be provided that includes the same things that an introduction usually includes, but in reverse order: (1) a transition into the conclusion, to explain the shift in tone; (2) a review of the highlights of the argument unraveled in the body; (3) the thesis, this time more emphatically stated; (4) an extension to the subject in general to show a broader relevance of your proof; and (5) a contextual comment, enticing your readers to take your essay's message with them on the road. (0,10)
12. [NM] Do not mention your essay or the assignment, except in an abstract, before the text of your work. (0,9)
13. [BO] Use your own organization. Do not rely on the sequence of ideas as they appear in your sources to provide structure for your essay – this practice lulls writers into unnecessary summary of a source. This kind of borrowing may also lead to a form of illegitimate paraphrase or plagiarism. (0,20)
14. [BQ] Any quotation of 40 words or longer must be set off in a block quotation, with an 1/2 -inch indent from the left margin (one tab stop), double-spaced as usual. The punctuation at the end of the passage should appear before the citation because no quotation marks are used to surround block quotations. Additionally, any material quoted from another source appearing within the block quotation should appear in double quotes, rather than single quotes, for the same reason. (0,14)
16. [CA] Conjunctive adverbs (however, also, then) should usually follow semicolons (when the independent clause in which the conjunctive adverb appears follows another independent clause), though sometimes the conjunctive adverb can appear further away from the semicolon. Here are a few examples: "I love cats; also, I love dogs." "I love cats; I, however, do not love dogs." "I love cats; I do not love dogs, however." These rules are also true for transitional expressions (in other words, thirdly). In less formal contexts, a conjunctive adverb may begin a second sentence ("However, the students realized . . ."), or may be merely surrounded by commas when the second clause is a separate sentence ("The students, however, realized . . ."); however, in formal writing, we connect the two independent clauses with the semicolon. (0,17)
17. [3D] Write in the 3rd person (he, she, one, it), avoiding 1st person (I, we) or 2nd person (you). (0,11)
19. [1W] Though these words might make sense separately, in this context they should be joined in one word. (0,7)
