“Guide to Writing”
Revising: review critical reading comments from classmates and instructor and make an outline of your draft.
A well-supported position, a well-presented issue, and effective counterargument, and a readable plan are necessary.
Comma usage in sentences with coordinating conjunctions are common errors in papers.
- Add a comma before coordinating conjunctions that join two independent clauses.
- Do not use a comma when coordinating conjunctions join phrases that are not independent clauses\
Conjunctive adverbs are also mistaken
- if they open a sentence they should be followed with a comma
- if it joins two independent clauses, it must be preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma
- Conjunctive adverbs that are in the middle of the sentence should be set off with commas
