Other Suggestions for Authors:

  • If English is not your native language, it is suggested that you have someone who teaches English review your paper for correct grammar usage.
  • If English is not your native language, make sure you that the words you use are correctly translated into their English meanings.
  • Always remember to spell check your document.
  • An acronym is an abbreviation coined from the initial letter of each successive word in a term or phrase. If you use acronyms, make sure you spell out the acronym the first time you use it. EXAMPLE: For your references, please follow the general guidelines as provided in the American Psychological Association Publication (APA) Manual. The APA manual is a good………….
  • Please make sure you define the meaning of key terms usedin your paper. EXAMPLE: In this project a “constructivism” philosophy was used. Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world we live in. Each of us generates our own "rules" and "mental models," which we use to make sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences.
