The Department of Behavioral Sciences expect students write in a professional manner when writing emails to professors/administrators, discussion posts to fellow students, and submitting general written assignments. They should contain Standard Written English, and comply with the relevant standards of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition (APA style). Each time you write for your classes, to your professors, or to your classmates in the context of a class or UWA function (registration requests to advisors) you show your writing ability and educational level to others. As a representative of the Department of Behavioral Sciences, the College of Liberal Arts, and the University of West Alabama, we require you to show yourself in a professional and educated manner. What you write reflects on you, so make sure it presents you in a positive way.
Research Paper Writing Expectations
The Department of Behavioral Sciences adheres to the following basic rubric for written assignments. (
Note that your professors may have additional expectations
).
Mastery of the Assignment (A grade):
Clear, accurate, & precise:
complete description/analysis; all points are accurately covered, with detail, appropriate integration of research-based material, and on topic
Purpose:
a clearly stated purpose is communicated to the reader.
Awareness:
presenting the research-based material in your own voice, demonstrating solid understanding and awareness of the concepts in the context of the assignment.
Flow:
logical progression through the paper, on the topic; the ideas are coherent and paragraphs are well-organized
Standard written English/APA style 6th edition:
appropriate college-level/graduate-level use:
a. verb forms tense, ending, subject-verb agreement
b. appropriate punctuation comma, semicolon, and colon usage
c. appropriate pronoun choice
d. appropriate word choice meaning, usage, and spelling http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/vocabulary.htm
– Some individual informal response/reflection assignments may have alternative requirements. Please check with your instructor.
Resources
APA style 6th edition is the format used in the Department of Behavioral Sciences. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, is required in several classes. There are also plenty of online resources to help you understand and properly format written work in compliance with APA style 6th edition. The following website is one of the better APA style online resources: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/. You may also receive APA style resources from your instructors.
Research-based written statements (objective reporting, argument defense) must be supported by evidence from edited sources. General edited sources are reviewed by an expert or experts in the discipline for correctness, research merit, and intellectual contribution to the field:
a.
primary sources
: edited empirical studies, edited research reviews, & edited journals.
b.
secondary sources
: edited books, summaries of research, & text books.
c.
tertiary sources
: magazines & newspapers (e.g. New York Times, Wall Street Journal), but these should be used only with support of primary or secondary information, or when no other source exists to provide support.
The Department expects all written research assignments to contain mainly primary sources, and some secondary sources. Encyclopedias or general dictionaries are not appropriate college-level or graduate-level material for research papers. Undergraduate textbooks are not appropriate sources for graduate-level research, and their use may be restricted in undergraduate classes as well. Check with your instructors.
Search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo) are not sources, but take you to potential sources of information. Many internet sources are not usable in research because they are not edited. Open source websites (Wikipedia) should not be used in research papers, but they may be a source of links to primary or secondary sources. Contact your professors for specific information to locate primary sources in each discipline.
Email Expectations
E-mail has generally been used as an informal means of communication. However, as it becomes increasingly popular in the communication with professors, job application process, etc., students need to take time to think through the content of their e-mail and address the message that they might be sending.
The following rules should be used for E-mail when writing or responding to: professors, college staff or personnel, potential employers, etc. You will be taken seriously and will often be given more credibility. Common mistakes are:
using emoticons :-);
being too informal;
misspellings, poor grammar, and incomplete sentences; and
not using capitalization, and
Because texting and Facebook has become a mainstream form of communication, students may not easily switch from casual conversation to professional E-mail. I cautioned a student about practicing the use of professional writing after reading an E-mail they sent and it was full of emoticons and misspellings. For example, they used “ur” for “you are or your;” “i” for “I”, and u for you.
Rules of the road
Professional E-mail is very different from casual e-mail, texting, or chatting or posting on a social network such as Facebook. Here are some rules that must be adhered to when writing an E-mail:
Just like a written letter, be sure to open your email with a greeting (e.g., Hello or Hi Dr. Jones). Do not open your E-mail by saying, Hey, Dr. Jones.
Write clear, short paragraphs, and be direct and to the point. Professionals and academics alike see their E-mail accounts as business. Do not write an unnecessarily long E-mail.
Be sure to include a meaningful subject on the subject line because this helps clarify what your message is about and may also help the recipient prioritize reading your email (e.g., Scheduled Meeting).
If you are responding to an E-mail, include the original message in the reply, so the receiver can put your E-mail into the correct context. Also, respond within two to three business days.
Always spell words correctly! Do not just use spell check. Spell check will not always catch words that are spelled correctly, but are misused within the context of the sentence. In other words, always proofread.
Use standard punctuation and capitalization. THERE’S NOTHING WORSE THAN AN E-MAIL SCREAMING A MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS. Therefore, avoid.
Never use contractions (e.g., dont, wont, etc.).
Think about the message your E-mail address sends. Keep your address simple, and avoid unprofessional sounding names like “partyguy” or “partygirl.” For your professors, you should always use the email address given to you by the school.
Read your message carefully before you click the send button. The tone of an E-mail can often be misinterpreted, which is why it is not always the best means of communication.
Have someone else proofread your message before you send it. It also might be easier to find errors if you print and review your E-mail.
Make sure your E-mail account is not full, so that you can receive emails.
When using Blackboard to send an E-mail to your professor, the rules above still apply.

Writing Guideline Areas (WGA)
First and foremost it is important to make clear this is a technical writing assignment. This is not a creative writing or personal reflection paper. This has several important implications for how you approach your work.
A1) Academic writing is done in the third person. This means, by default it is understood that all words in the paper are attributed to the author of the paper, unless clearly cited or referenced to someone else. Because of this, there should be no direct reference to yourself. Prior to submitting your papers you should search the document for any and all uses of the words “I” or “Me” and remove them.
A2) At the same time you should not be writing to some fictional reader. The converse of using “I”, is to use the common “you” to reference a reader. Ex. “You should clearly see the difference between these two concepts now.” This is an inappropriate conversational style of writing. There is no “you” and you cannot assume one. Similarly you should not use phrases such as “the reader will see……”. Just say what you have to say.
B) Technical writing is interesting for its fact driven content. You should not be using common creative writing techniques to catch the reader’s attention such as rhetorical questions (Examples: Why in today’s society are race and ethnicity so misunderstood? Have you ever wondered why race and ethnicity are different? ), or exaggerated and baseless grand statements (example: Race is as clear and the nose on your face yet no one ever seems to question it.) These are elementary gimmicks to trick people into reading the paper. We also generally use these types of phrases to ease into the content of the paper, but they have no place in this type of writing.
C1) Technical writing is a much more straightforward writing style. It needs to get to the point as directly as possible. It goes against nearly everything you have been taught about writing to this point. It at times should feel short, choppy, and dry.
C2) As a general rule; complex ideas are best conveyed using multiple sentences which are shorter and more basic. Unpack the ideas one small piece at a time. It keeps the meaning clear and simple.
C3)This style of writing is also very literal. Word usage has to be very deliberate and clear. You should not be using analogies or fictional examples. It has to mean exactly what it says, nothing more, nothing less.
C4) This writing should not be enhanced with descriptive adjectives such as: huge, extreme, scary, small, strangely, a long time ago, etc. These are subjective words that have no universal objective meaning. In almost every case the idea that these are trying to convey needs to be expressed in some concrete manner. Big = 7.5 times more. In the past = 56 years ago etc. The same thing goes for improper nouns, (Ex. The author says = Grannovetter (2011) says. The text book states .= In Strangers To These Shores, Parrrillo (2010) states……
D) Technical writing is not a conversation and should not sound like you talk. Everyone has a common sub-cultural (racial/ethnic, country, urban, text messaging, etc) set of phrases and slang that they use in everyday speech patterns. None of this can show up in your academic writing. This should read like a computer/robot has written it. All the way down to the elimination of the simple contraction. If “Can’t” is not allowed, then certainly U R is not going to be accepted.
Figure out how to use the tools available to you to weed these things out of your writing. Microsoft has a decent set of spelling and grammar check functions that generally catch glaring problems. You cannot always rely on these but they are a good place to start.
E) Technical writing is always about conveying very specific pieces of information. Before you start writing, be very clear about exactly what is being asked of you. Always read the entire assignment sheet start to finish before attempting to start the assignment. Follow all steps and guidelines as they have been laid out for you. Not following these directions will contaminate the quality of your work and is apparent from the content of what you turn in. You gain nothing by attempting to go around these things.
F) Always maximize the time allowed for each assignment. It is best to work on it every day briefly for a week than try to complete it all at one time.
G) Always plan on completing your assignment one full day before final submission deadlines. Put it away and give yourself one more chance to look at it fresh before turning it in.
H) Work on making everything you submit the highest quality product you can and have ever created. This is what you are being evaluated and judged on as a student and soon to be professional.
