Suggest two tips for creating academic documents not including word power point, or excel. which guidlines do you think are most important for formatting papers? which guidlines appear less important to the message of a business document more to academic

I just finished this question after struggling with it a long time. I believe in order to find the answer you must look up the APA guidelines at the CWE site. This is for those who are going to Axia Univ. of Phoenix. I know this is too late for this weeks assignment but maybe it will help someone else out before it's too late. I earned the points so I must have got it right-luckily. I have comfort in the thought that I wasn't the only one struggling with this. Thr first part of the question is really vague. I at last figured it couldn't be about softward because just about everyone uses word. It's about the formatting not the software. The next assignment is about formatting as well so there is a common theme as usual. Academic papers for UOP must follow the APA format which was not discussed in the resources for this particular weeks assingments.

I found that there is a google docs. and also PDF but I don't know if this the answer to the question. What do you all think? I hope someone is on here or has a suggestion this assignment is due for me in 1 hour!

I am also a student of axia college and am having trouble with this assignment as well.

Hi Evelyn, are you going to school @ Axia, I am currently looking for help on this assignment and happened to run across you looking for help. These are the same questions on my assignment.

WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT GUIDELINES ON FORMATING A ACADIMIC PAPER

informative and persuaive

To not use internet abbriviations.

the question is on both, business and academic

I'm ask for information on booth paper Business and academic paper

This is a business document
Which guidelines do you think are most important fo formatting papers? Which guidelines appear less important to the message of a business document but more important to the message of an academic paper?

As a technical writer for many years primarily in the aerospace industry, both operation and maintenance books as well as writing acedemic books and testing material at the university level. There are a number of important differences such as: Business writing is essentially writing in an personal dialog, almost as if you are talking directly to the person where as academic writing generally is impersonal and to the point. Also, a lot of business writing is almost adlib type information where acedemic is structured and most times contains references. Hope this helps.

G'day Shawnyetta89,

Thank you for your question.

You may need to reword your question to make it clearer. Are you asking for information on preparing business documents or academic papers?

There are important differences between the two such as the level of referencing.

Regards

Your question is very broad and would perhaps have had a better chance of receiving answers if you had asked several questions.

To answer the first part, use MS Word or whatever word processor you have, go to the File... New menu item (NOT the New Toolbar button) and select Thesis from the Publications tab.

I have this assignment now can anyone help me?

Hi Jillian!

I would guess that the best way to answer this question, would be to suggest that you contact your nearest University and just look in the student library at papers that previous students have had published, to get a very basic idea of what some successfully written academic documents might look like, depending on which field of study in which you wish to excel.

As far as guidelines appearing less important is concerned, that would be a "judgment call" on your part, as there are no cut-and-dried rules for such things, when one's opinion is involved.

Now that I have answered your "unanswered" question, here are some of mine that have yet to be answered:

Dont know

1.) Write short, clear sentences and paragraphs.

2.) Spell, capitalize and punctuate correctly.

I read all of the above and am sstill confused. I'm also an Axia student!

First you got the question wrong! it states: Suggest two tips for creating academic documents not mentioned in the resources. so when you read chapter 1 for APA writing and did the MS WORD tutorial what wasn't mentioned that could be useful? Of course there is more then one right answer but the obvious ones for me were Writepoint in the CWE and APA templates in MS Word. Hope this helps Axia folks.

Suggest two tips for creating academic documents not mentioned in the resources.

One tip would be to have some other people proof read your work. If they can understand it then everyone else should e able to as well. Another tip would be to use plagiarism checker and to cite your references. If you use the plagiarism checker then your work can't be discredited as someone elses. If you do use someone elses work then thats when the reference cite comes into play so you don't get in trouble for plagiarism.

Which guidelines are most important for formatting?

Grammar and spelling ar the most important guidelines for formatting. If you have bad grammar and/or can't spell that well then you need to use the CWE to help you with your spelling and grammar. So people will understand what your trying to say Also keep things in logical order.


Which guidelines are less important to a business document but more important to an academic paper?

I think in an acedemic paper your formatting is more important. In a business document it is usually meant for a few people to read but in an acedemic paper you are trying to earn a grade. Although you don't want to look dumb in a business you can always make a few mistakes. In an acedemic paper the teacher is always looking for those few little mistakes.

Here's one... DON'T BE REDUNDANT (DO NOT REPEAT QUESTIONS ON ANSWERBAG.)

Please check prior questions. This one has been repeated at least twice in almost this exact form... Each piece has been repeated from 4 to 10 times...

In other words, the question has been asked numerous times, and probably already answered.

12 point font, times new roman font, double spaced, margins no wider than 1 inch.

Probably the ones your instructor uses to grade your paper.

Two suggestions that I have for creating academic documents are; always submit a draft of your paper through the Plagiarism checker, and always run a grammar and spell check through the Writepoint. These two tools can be very helpful when writing an academic paper. The Plagiarism checker gives you a reassurance that what you have written is your own material. The Writepoint tool is very helpful when checking for grammar misuse and spelling errors. I believe that the guidelines that are most important to me in formatting a paper would be the font size and spacing style. These guidelines enable the reader to read the document with ease. Proper use of punctuation is also a key element in the readability of a document. A guideline that appears to be less important to a business document versus an academic paper might be the layout of the information provided in the documents themselves. In a business document you are up provide the information right up front and get to the point quickly. It is known that in a business document that the reader wants to skim the material and have a visual understanding of what is needed to complete the task or make decision with the provided material.

making sure the words are on the paper and written on your leg.

To find the guidelines you need, type the keywords into your search box. I have provided a sample search for you:

Guidelines for exact documentation format. Business messages sometimes need source notes but readers don't sweat format as long as the information is there. Academic readers might devalue the rest of the message if academic conventions are not observed.

I to am an axia student,I am currently stuck on this question. Is there anyone out there that could help me out.

Well, I have pretty good idea but cant seem to start my paper. Any ideas?
