Which was better?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>Provide appropriate citations in your paper (footnotes, endnotes, or parenthetical references are all acceptable).  <\/div>\n<div>In your research paper it is expected that you will use a formal, academic style of writing.  In order to help you do this, I have included the following suggestions for your paper.  Proofread carefully or get help from the Harper Writing Center.  Grammar, style and punctuation are part of the final grade.<br \/>\nDo not use contractions in formal writing.  (Words like don\u2019t, didn\u2019t, etc.)<br \/>\nDo not use abbreviations or slang.<br \/>\nUnless you personally know the person about whom you are writing, do not refer to them simply by their first name.  The first time you write the name, give the first and last name.  Thereafter, you can use either the last name or the person\u2019s title.<br \/>\nUse appropriate citations.  You can use footnotes, endnotes, or parenthetical references, whichever you are most comfortable using.  You do not have to cite every fact in the paper.  However, all quotations and statistics should be cited.  Other facts that are questionable or controversial should be cited.  You should also cite any time you report someone else\u2019s opinion.<br \/>\nUse the correct form of \u201cits.\u201d  \u201cIts\u201d is a possessive pronoun, for example, \u201cthe dog ate its bone.\u201d  \u201cIt\u2019s\u201d is a contraction meaning it is.  For example, \u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful day.\u201d  Also, use the correct form of \u201cthere\u201d and \u201ctheir\u201d.  \u201cThere\u201d refers to a place, as in \u201cHe is over there.\u201d  \u201cTheir\u201d is a plural possessive pronoun, as in \u201cThey waited for their ride.\u201d<br \/>\nKnow when to use \u201cU.S.\u201d instead of \u201cUnited States.\u201d  \u201cUnited States\u201d is a noun and \u201cU.S.\u201d is an adjective.  For example, \u201cThe government of the United States\u201d or \u201cthe U.S. government.\u201d  Both are correct.  You would not write \u201cthe government of the U.S.\u201d or \u201cthe United States government.\u201d<br \/>\nAvoid using the word \u201cgot.\u201d<br \/>\nDo not use flowery, overly complex writing.  You should strive for clarity in each sentence.<br \/>\nDo not use gross exaggerations (i.e., \u201cHe was the greatest man who ever lived.\u201d).&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directly compare and contrast the lives of the two men before they became president.
