Make sure your claims are supported by published evidence from the fields of computer science,
psychology, cognitive science, and social science among others!!!!!!
Please pay more attention to this rubric!!!!!!
Rubric:
1. Grammar correctness and writing quality
o Write formally.
o Use the active voice (as opposed to the passive voice) as much as possible.
o Do not use linguistic contractions (such as don’t, won’t, shouldn’t…)
2. Writing clarity
3. Support of the claims by existing evidence
For example, if you would like to make the following claim in an essay:
Obesity and sedentary lifestyle is responsible for thousands of premature deaths around the
globe.
You should include a citation pertaining to the source you obtained this fact from. Hence, the
correct way to write this statement is as follows:
Obesity and sedentary lifestyle is responsible for thousands of premature deaths around the
globe [1].
And in your references section, you should include the reference as follows:
[1] Manson, JoAnn E., et al. The escalating pandemics of obesity and sedentary lifestyle: a call
to action for clinicians. Archives of internal medicine 164.3 (2004): 249-258.
You can use any referencing style, as long as you are consistent throughout the document.
4. Convincingness of the arguments made
