“WRITING STYLE AND MECHANICS 2″

Abstract or Introduction and Conclusion:

According to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), An abstract is “a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of the article; it allows readers to survey the contents of an article quickly and, like a title, it enables persons interested in the document to retrieve it from abstracting and indexing databases” (2010, p. 25). The first line of the abstract is not indented. An abstract may range from 150 to 250 words (APA, 2010). Because an abstract is not always required for student papers, adhere to your instructor’s requirements.” EXAMPLE: Abstract: This paper offers information on —

Learning Team Management and Expectation

As a reminder, UOP expects that all team members will strive to optimize their respective learning team by participating regularly, demonstrating effective team working norms of behavior, and contributing substantive sections of the team assignment on the team leader’s ‘internal team due date schedule’.

In some instances, there may be a team member who does not choose to earn the team grade because s/he has not participated or contributed regularly and has not posted their section of the team assignment on the team leader’s internal due date AFTER self-correcting their section of the paper using the CWE for APA required assignments. In other words, it is not acceptable for team members to post a section of the team assignment the night it is due and expect the team leader and other conscientious team members to scramble to pull the assignment together at the last minute. Should a team member choose not to make a substantive contribution in a timely manner, the team leader is instructed to leave the missing in action team member’s name next to their respective blank section and upload the team assignment on time. It is not the team leader’s job to chase late or non-contributing team members. Each team member is encouraged to complete the Peer Review after each learning team assignment to highlight the team’s strengths, areas of improvement and any discrepancies.
