    Style and Mechanics
    This is a final project, and therefore, it should be your highest-quality work. Here are some guidelines:
    • Language style. Your language should be clear, concise, and emphatic; that is, each sentence should be direct and easy to understand, and should make an important point. Avoid using filler sentences or impressive vocabulary words that add nothing to the content. Simple is usually better.
    • Tone. The writing in your final project should have a scholarly, conversational tone. Avoid contractions, idioms, slang, and text language.
    • Mechanics. Errors in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and grammar do affect readability. Spell checkers and grammar checkers are useful tools, but there is no substitute for double-checking your work. It is recommended that you proofread your work at least three times. It is also recommended that you read your work out loud to yourself or to an audience to ensure that your words and meaning are clear.
