Grade: 41/50 Name: JGibson

    The manuscript does conform to APA style in its major aspects. Each page of the journal does contain a page header; however it alternates with the author’s name and the title of the publication. All information is cited correctly using footnotes. The structural differences in which the paper deviates from APA style is the lack of a Title Page, and variation in formatting. Instead of the four major sections being shown as Title Page, Abstract, Main Body and References, the paper is organized as a Research study in the format of Introduction, Background, Aims, research questions and hypothesis, Method, Analysis, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, and References.…

    It is important to show the examiner that you can use a variety of words to join sentence parts in order to make longer, more complex sentences. Examiners are looking at this and if you don’t show it well enough, you won’t get a 6 (or above) for grammar. This is a strict rule that the examiners must follow, even if other aspects of your grammar are very good.…
