Use the cheat sheet given to you to check the following: • Make sure there is a cover page and that it is formatted correctly. • Make sure there is an outline with a clear thesis statement at the top. • Make sure that the first page of the research paper has a header and the student’s name & page number in the upper right corner. • Go through the essay looking for the following to make changes on: • Pointing out missing citations or citation errors • Fixing quotation errors • Correcting mistakes in grammar, punctuation, and spelling • Correcting sentence fragments or run-on sentences • Rephrasing awkward sounding sentences. • Deleting redundant or irrelevant material. • Lastly, make sure the Works Cited page is properly formatted with at least 8 sources (2 non-internet sources) in alphabetical order.
