Write & Cite: Academic Writing Readiness

Write & Cite® provides learners with the skills and knowledge needed not only to write, format, and properly cite papers, but also to think critically to define their research problem, find credible sources, and craft theses or dissertations worthy of publication.

The 8-section module can be customized to teach APA, MLA, or CMS documentation styles along with instruction regarding proper word choices, tone, paper organization, literature-based research, and techniques to avoid plagiarism.

Write & Cite® is designed to give learners the skills needed to write, format, and properly cite academic papers and dissertations. More than just a formal requirement, proper citation is imperative to respectfully borrow and expand upon others’ ideas. 

1. Identify the structure and formatting of academic papers following APA (American Psychological Association) style, MLA (Modern Language Association) style, or CMOS (Chicago Manual of Style) guidelines.
2. Recognize and apply appropriate methods for developing and expressing ideas.
3. Identify a research problem and choose appropriate questions to develop and assess the problem.
4. Select credible sources to address research questions and support analysis.
5. Describe plagiarism and its consequences and identify techniques for appropriately crediting the ideas of others.
6. Differentiate purpose, tone, format, and structure used in common types of academic writing.  
7. Choose words that convey meaning and nuance appropriate to a paper’s purpose.
8. Use feedback to correct errors in style, structure, and content.
9. Enforce proper grammar and syntax through uniform verb tense, subject-verb agreement, parallel construction, and consistent phrasing.
10. Use feedback to correct errors in style, structure, and content.
