Use the following checklist to ensure the research paper is complete. Is my thesis concise and clear? Are my arguments presented in a logical sequence?

Are there run-on, repetitive or unfinished sentences? Clichés? Varying lengths of sentences? Is my response written in third person? Are my arguments and supporting evidence presented from an objective perspective? Does one paragraph or idea flow from one paragraph into another? Is there a well-written introduction that includes a thesis statement? Is there a logical comprehensive conclusion that summarizes the points made in the essay?
Proofread your final paper carefully for spelling, punctuation, grammar, repetition, missing or duplicated words. Aim to have your final paper ready a day or two ahead of the deadline. This
