Writing is 10% of your grade. We have to do it once every semester. I gave you a score. If you fix the mistakes, I will give you a higher score.

1.  I explained many times a paragraph is five or more sentences. With two or three sentences, you did not develop / explain your idea. Many of you still wrote paragraphs that were NOT five or more sentences. Please fix them.

2.  I explained many times about spacing before punctuation. This is punctuation:  , . ? ! “ ; : …

Do NOT do this. Please fix this.

3.  This is a university. We do NOT use contractions in formal writing. Contractions are for speaking. They are for talking. They are not for writing. Here are some examples of contractions. He is – He’s, They are – they’re

4.  This is a logical problem more than a writing problem. Absolute statement.

Avoid absolute statements in writing because they are NOT logical. How do we fix it?
