1. Examine at least two (2) performance ratios that you would use in order to determine which analytical tests to perform. Identify the accounts that you would test, and select at least three (3) analytical procedures that you would use in your audit.
1. Analyze the balance sheet and income statement of the company that you have selected, and outline your method for evidence collection which should include, but not be limited to, the type of evidence to collect and the manner in which you would determine the sufficiency of the evidence.
1. Discuss the audit risk model, and ascertain which sampling or non-sampling techniques you would use in order to establish your preliminary judgment about materiality. Justify your response.
1. Assuming that the end result is an unqualified audit report, outline the primary responsibilities of the audit firm after it issues the report in question.
1. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Quick Reference List for APA Formatting
1. When there are only two authors always list both. When you reference them in text, use Jones and Jones (2005). When you reference them at the end of your sentence you use "&" (Jones & Jones, 2005).
2. When you list a group of authors in a reference, the first time you use them list all authors unless there are more than six authors e.g. (Jones, Smith, Olson, & Johnson, 2005) The next time you reference them you can use (Jones et al., 2005).
3. Don’t reference every sentence in a paragraph with the same source. Begin your paragraph with Smith and Jones (2005) found…. Until you introduce another source or switch paragraphs it is understood the information is coming from that source.
4. When you reference authors in a sentence such as; Jones and Jones (2005) found ….don't put a comma after or before the date. Use a comma after the date if it is grammatically correct. For example; According to Smith (2003), recent findings have disputed…
5. If you are speaking from your personal experience or stating an opinion or belief, make it clear to the reader that you are the source of information. Professionally speaking, …. Personal experiences have been…
6. References at the end of your post and papers need to be alphabetized.
7. When you summarize an article, as you will need to do for assignments, or when you are citing the literature, do not state "in an article read", "the article I found on …." "the book titled …" It is understood you have read the material, don't tell your readers you have read it. Instead tell the readers what you have found, e.g. Jones and Smith (2003) have identified key elements in a successful therapeutic relationship.
8. Avoid direct quotes in your work. I want to hear what you have to say about the information. Graduate school is the time for you to develop your professional voice and become the expert on a topic. We can all go to the source of information, especially our text books and assigned reading, to read what has been said. Instead, I want to see how you synthesize and apply the material that you have read so I don't want to see direct quotes in your work. Very few things are so important that they need to be quoted verbatim. Give us your take on the information
9. Before you can use an acronym the proper name must be used first followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. The American Counseling Association (ACA) is the leading authority in…. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a common therapy for the treatment of …..Not all readers will know what you are referring to if you only use the acronym.

CONTENT
(6 Points)
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper that includes the following:
· Brief summary of the history of Islam (ie. Muhammad's life, early growth and later expansion, present day).
· Explain the importance of these elements for Muslims:
· Qur'an
· Five Pillars
· Sharia Law and Islamic ethics
· Describe significant differences and similarities in how the branches of Islam (Sunni, Shiite, and Sufi) practice their traditions.
The writer does not demonstrate cursory understanding of subject matter, and the purpose of the paper is not stated. The objective, therefore, is not addressed and supporting materials are not correctly referenced.
0 to 2.4 points
The writer demonstrates limited understanding of the subject matter in that theories are not well connected to a practical experience or appropriate examples, though the attempt to research the topic is evident, and materials are correctly referenced.
2.5 to 5.4 points
The writer demonstrates an understanding of the subject matter by clearly stating the objective of the paper and links theories to practical experience. The paper includes relevant material that is correctly referenced, and this material fulfills the objective of the paper.

ORGANIZATION
( 2 Points)
Paragraphs do not focus around a central point, and concepts are disjointedly introduced or poorly defended (i.e., stream of consciousness). The writer struggles with limited vocabulary and has difficulty conveying meaning such that only the broadest, most general messages are presented. There is no introduction or conclusion.
0 to .5 points
Topics/content could be organized in a more logical manner. Transitions from one idea to the next are often disconnected and uneven. The introduction does not give clear direction and the conclusion does not communicate what was learned.
Some words, transitional phrases, and conjunctions are overused. Ideas may be overstated, and sentences with limited contribution to the subject are included.
.6 to 1 points
The writer focuses on ideas and concepts within paragraphs, and sentences are well-connected and meaningful. Each topic logically follows the objective. The introduction clearly states the objective or ideas leading to the purpose of the paper, and a conclusion draws the ideas together.
The reading audience is correctly identified, demonstrated by appropriate language usage (i.e., avoiding jargon and simplifying complex concepts appropriately). Writing is concise, in active voice, and avoids awkward transitions and overuse of conjunctions.

Intercultural Concept Analysis Paper Due as noted in Learn b.docxnormanibarber20063
Intercultural Concept Analysis Paper
Due as noted in Learn by 11:59 pm
This paper will be your opportunity to discuss your understanding of class readings, concepts,
and discussions. The purpose of this paper is to help you synthesize and analyze different ideas
and concepts, not just summarize them. The first step is to select a specific topic or concept to
explore. Then, chose one of the articles assigned this semester that discusses that concept. Next,
fine two academic articles in the field of communication that also discusses this concept. I
recommend using the EBSCO host search for the Communication & Mass Media Complete
database through the Cline’s website. After reading your independently selected articles, you will
write a 4-5 page paper.
• You may want to begin your search by consulting the following journals: Journal of
International & Intercultural Communication; Communication and Critical/Cultural
Studies; Communication, Culture & Critique
Start by offering a clear definition of the concept under discussion as defined by the authors’ of
the articles you have selected. This is your chance to move beyond using a dictionary for
definition, look at the course reading and academic journal articles and see how the author define
the concept. They may not spell it out completely, you may have to read between the lines and
paraphrase their definition.
You will be graded on your engagement of the material and your grasp of the concept discussed
in class. Use the same process that you have been practicing in the collaborative reading
assignments. How do the three articles discuss the same concept: do they agree with each other,
do they approach the concepts differently (disagree with each), does one of the articles
complicate or expand the discussion of the concept? These are all elements that can be addressed
in this paper.
Draw on the readings in a thoughtful, meaningful manner. Use direct quotes sparingly, a quote
should be used to support what conclusion you draw, not replace your own voice. This is not
about your opinion but building an argument. Provide academic evidence to support your point.
As such, this paper should be written in third person rather than using “I” or “we”. Be sure to
provide page numbers for direct quotes in addition to author(s) last name and year of publication
for all citations. Include a references page for any reading or text mentioned in your article.
Formatting
• 1-inch margins all the way around.
• Double-spaced, no extra spacing between paragraphs.
• 12 pt. font, Times New Roman
• APA format for in-text citations and references at end of paper.
Use APA style to cite and reference readings. Assistance on APA format is available through the
Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL): http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

Quick Reference List for APA Formatting
1. When there are only two authors always list both. When you reference them in text, use Jones and Jones (2005). When you reference them at the end of your sentence you use "&" (Jones & Jones, 2005).
2. When you list a group of authors in a reference, the first time you use them list all authors unless there are more than six authors e.g. (Jones, Smith, Olson, & Johnson, 2005) The next time you reference them you can use (Jones et al., 2005).
3. Don’t reference every sentence in a paragraph with the same source. Begin your paragraph with Smith and Jones (2005) found…. Until you introduce another source or switch paragraphs it is understood the information is coming from that source.
4. When you reference authors in a sentence such as; Jones and Jones (2005) found ….don't put a comma after or before the date. Use a comma after the date if it is grammatically correct. For example; According to Smith (2003), recent findings have disputed…
5. If you are speaking from your personal experience or stating an opinion or belief, make it clear to the reader that you are the source of information. Professionally speaking, …. Personal experiences have been…
6. References at the end of your post and papers need to be alphabetized.
7. When you summarize an article, as you will need to do for assignments, or when you are citing the literature, do not state "in an article read", "the article I found on …." "the book titled …" It is understood you have read the material, don't tell your readers you have read it. Instead tell the readers what you have found, e.g. Jones and Smith (2003) have identified key elements in a successful therapeutic relationship.
8. Avoid direct quotes in your work. I want to hear what you have to say about the information. Graduate school is the time for you to develop your professional voice and become the expert on a topic. We can all go to the source of information, especially our text books and assigned reading, to read what has been said. Instead, I want to see how you synthesize and apply the material that you have read so I don't want to see direct quotes in your work. Very few things are so important that they need to be quoted verbatim. Give us your take on the information
9. Before you can use an acronym the proper name must be used first followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. The American Counseling Association (ACA) is the leading authority in…. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a common therapy for the treatment of …..Not all readers will know what you are referring to if you only use the acronym.

· Qur'an
· Five Pillars
· Sharia Law and Islamic ethics
· Describe significant differences and similarities in how the branches of Islam (Sunni, Shiite, and Sufi) practice their traditions.
The writer does not demonstrate cursory understanding of subject matter, and the purpose of the paper is not stated. The objective, therefore, is not addressed and supporting materials are not correctly referenced.

Topics/content could be organized in a more logical manner. Transitions from one idea to the next are often disconnected and uneven. The introduction does not give clear direction and the conclusion does not communicate what was learned.
Some words, transitional phrases, and conjunctions are overused. Ideas may be overstated, and sentences with limited contribution to the subject are included.
.6 to 1 points
The writer focuses on ideas and concepts within paragraphs, and sentences are well-connected and meaningful. Each topic logically follows the objective. The introduction clearly states the objective or ideas leading to the purpose of the paper, and a conclusion draws the ideas together.
The reading audience is correctly identified, demonstrated by appropriate language usage (i.e., avoiding jargon and simplifying complex concepts appropriately). Writing is concise, in active voice, and avoids awkward transitions and overuse of conjunctions.

Intercultural Concept Analysis Paper Due as noted in Learn b.docxnormanibarber20063
Intercultural Concept Analysis Paper
Due as noted in Learn by 11:59 pm
This paper will be your opportunity to discuss your understanding of class readings, concepts,
and discussions. The purpose of this paper is to help you synthesize and analyze different ideas
and concepts, not just summarize them. The first step is to select a specific topic or concept to
explore. Then, chose one of the articles assigned this semester that discusses that concept. Next,
fine two academic articles in the field of communication that also discusses this concept. I
recommend using the EBSCO host search for the Communication & Mass Media Complete
database through the Cline’s website. After reading your independently selected articles, you will
write a 4-5 page paper.
• You may want to begin your search by consulting the following journals: Journal of
International & Intercultural Communication; Communication and Critical/Cultural
Studies; Communication, Culture & Critique
Start by offering a clear definition of the concept under discussion as defined by the authors’ of
the articles you have selected. This is your chance to move beyond using a dictionary for
definition, look at the course reading and academic journal articles and see how the author define
the concept. They may not spell it out completely, you may have to read between the lines and
paraphrase their definition.
You will be graded on your engagement of the material and your grasp of the concept discussed
in class. Use the same process that you have been practicing in the collaborative reading
assignments. How do the three articles discuss the same concept: do they agree with each other,
do they approach the concepts differently (disagree with each), does one of the articles
complicate or expand the discussion of the concept? These are all elements that can be addressed
in this paper.
Draw on the readings in a thoughtful, meaningful manner. Use direct quotes sparingly, a quote
should be used to support what conclusion you draw, not replace your own voice. This is not
about your opinion but building an argument. Provide academic evidence to support your point.
As such, this paper should be written in third person rather than using “I” or “we”. Be sure to
provide page numbers for direct quotes in addition to author(s) last name and year of publication
for all citations. Include a references page for any reading or text mentioned in your article.
Formatting
• 1-inch margins all the way around.
• Double-spaced, no extra spacing between paragraphs.
• 12 pt. font, Times New Roman
• APA format for in-text citations and references at end of paper.
Use APA style to cite and reference readings. Assistance on APA format is available through the
Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL): http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

It is often said that people today are no longer loyal to organizations. Yet employees are loyal to their direct supervisor. This discussion question asks you to evaluate and apply your understanding of followership theory. Reflect on any techniques for understanding, achieving, and positively applying organizational and personal power and influence as a follower.
When effective leaders leave an organization to move on to another organization, they often take at least one or two employees. Employees who respect a leader and have generated a relationship and bond want to work under that leader. One indicator of effective leaders is communication skills in which a leader is attuned to the needs of each employee.
REAL-LIFE APPLICATION: Discuss a leader with whom you are familiar and who has the loyalty of his or her direct reports. Alternatively, you might interview a friend or family member about their experiences or you may research a well-known leader. Address the following in your response.
Evaluate how this leader earns respect and loyalty from his or her employees.
If you were in a leadership position, what methods would you implement to inspire, motivate, and empower your employees?
Support your discussion with at least one scholarly article and, if relevant, credible media reports, and cite each source using APA style.

Mrs. Smith was a 73-year-old widow who lived alone with no significant social support. She had been suffering from emphysema for several years and had had frequent hospitalizations for respiratory problems. On the last hospital admission, her pneumonia quickly progressed to organ failure. Death appeared to be imminent, and she went in and out of consciousness, alone in her hospital room. The medical-surgical nursing staff and the nurse manager focused on making Mrs. Smith’s end-of-life period as comfortable as possible. Upon consultation with the vice president for nursing, the nurse manager and the unit staff nurses decided against moving Mrs. Smith to the palliative care unit, although considered more economical, because of the need to protect and nurture her because she was already experiencing signs and symptoms of the dying process. Nurses were prompted by an article they read on human caring as the “language of nursing practice” (Turkel, Ray, & Kornblatt, 2012) in their weekly caring practice meetings.
The nurse manager reorganized patient assignments. She felt that the newly assigned clinical nurse leader who was working between both the medical and surgical units could provide direct nurse caring and coordination at the point of care (Sherman, 2012). Over the next few hours, the clinical nurse leader and a staff member who had volunteered her assistance provided personal care for Mrs. Smith. The clinical nurse leader asked the nurse manager whether there was a possibility that Mrs. Smith had any close friends who could “be there” for her in her final moments. One friend was discovered and came to say goodbye to Mrs. Smith. With help from her team, the clinical nurse leader turned, bathed, and suctioned Mrs. Smith. She spoke quietly, prayed, and sang hymns softly in Mrs. Smith’s room, creating a peaceful environment that expressed compassion and a deep sense of caring for her. The nurse manager and nursing unit staff were calmed and their “hearts awakened” by the personal caring that the clinical nurse leader and the volunteer nurse provided. Mrs. Smith died with caring persons at her bedside, and all members of the unit staff felt comforted that she had not died alone.
Davidson, Ray, and Turkel (2011) note that caring is complex, and caring science includes the art of practice, “an aesthetic which illuminates the beauty of the dynamic nurse-patient relationship, that makes possible authentic spiritual-ethical choices for transformation—healing, health, well-being, and a peaceful death” (p. xxiv). As the clinical nurse leader and the nursing staff in this situation engaged in caring practice that focused on the well-being of the patient, they simultaneously created a caring-healing environment that contributed to the well-being of the whole—the emotional atmosphere of the unit, the ability of the clinical nurse leader and staff nurses to practice caringly and competently, and the qualit.

To see a side-by-side comparison of the three most widely used citation styles, including a chart
of all APA citation guidelines, see the Citation Style Chart.
You can also watch our APA vidcast series on the Purdue OWL YouTube Channel.
General APA Guidelines
Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5" x 11") with 1" margins
on all sides. You should use a clear font that is highly readable. APA recommends using 12 pt.
Times New Roman font.
Include a page header (also known as the "running head") at the top of every page. To create
a page header/running head, insert page numbers flush right. Then type "TITLE OF YOUR
PAPER" in the header flush left using all capital letters. The running head is a shortened
version of your paper's title and cannot exceed 50 characters including spacing and punctuation.
Major Paper Sections
Your essay should include four major sections: The Title Page, Abstract, Main Body,
and References.
Title Page
The title page should contain the title of the paper, the author's name, and the institutional
affiliation. Include the page header (described above) flush left with the page number flush right
at the top of the page. Please note that on the title page, your page header/running head should
look like this:
Running head: TITLE OF YOUR PAPER
Pages after the title page should have a running head that looks like this:

recommends that your title be no more than 12 words in length and that it should not contain
abbreviations or words that serve no purpose. Your title may take up one or two l.
Appearance When I watched the video of myself, I felt that my b.docxamrit47
Appearance
When I watched the video of myself, I felt that my black straight skirt, closed toed shoes and white collared shirt gave a professional appearance and more credibility with the audience. My hair was a little too casual. I wished I had that one strand tacked back so it would have stayed out of my eyes. This made it hard for the audience to see my face and was distracting when I had to keep tucking it back. My earrings were small so the audience would watch me and not my jewelry. I wasn’t standing up straight and it made me look less confident. I need to remember to have better posture when speaking.Organizational Pattern
My introduction was slow and clear and the story was suspenseful enough to grab their attention. It was a little confusing at the beginning because I didn’t preview the main points but because I transitioned well between the steps by saying, “Now that you have completed step 1, selecting the pattern, you are ready to move to step two, preparing the wood” the audience was able to follow. I remembered to state my research source for two of the steps but forgot the third. It made the third step seem shallower and I think I lost credibility. My word choice was good. I made sure to use a variety of descriptive words for the types of wood, explained new vocabulary and repeated phrases to help the audience remember the steps. For some reason the ending was weak. I didn’t tie it to the introduction or have a good ending sentence. It would have been a good idea to remind them of the beginning story and how woodworking affects their everyday life.Vocal Qualities
During my speech I had such a dry mouth that I messed up on the pronunciation of some of the words like saying “exspecially” instead of “especially.” This sounded less professional to the audience. I had good projection so that even the back row could hear without straining. My pitch variation is getting better but I still keep using the same rhythm with my pauses. This make me sound more monotone, like I’m reading the speech rather than just having a conversation. I’ll need to practice changing my rate and pauses. I also noticed many of my sentences end in an up-pitch, like I’m asking a question. If I bring some of those down it will make me appear more confident rather than questioning. It is hard to get rid of those filler words. “Like” and “so” are two of my favorites but it does make me sound like a teenager. I had no idea I said them so much.Delivery
There weren’t many gestures, which made me look stiff and nervous. I just held my note cards and stood in one spot the whole time. I need to do more with my hands and maybe move a little more in the space. I really admire the people in class who have such a good flow with their delivery from gestures to using the space around them purposefully. I felt I held my note cards too close to my face and had my head down most of the time. While watching the video, I noticed I looked at my cards and the poster a l.

There are different theories of how to make the basic distribution. Among them are:
Strict Egalitarianism
One of the simplest principles of distributive justice is that of strict, or radical, equality. The principle says that every person should have the same level of material goods and services. The principle is most commonly justified on the grounds that people are morally equal and that equality in material goods and services is the best way to give effect to this moral ideal.
The Difference Principle
The most widely discussed theory of distributive justice in the past four decades has been that proposed by John Rawls in
A Theory of Justice
, (Rawls 1971), and
Political Liberalism
, (Rawls 1993). Rawls proposes the following two principles of justice:
· 1. Each person has an equal claim to a fully adequate scheme of equal basic rights and liberties, which scheme is compatible with the same scheme for all; and in this scheme the equal political liberties, and only those liberties, are to be guaranteed their fair value.
· 2. Social and economic inequalities are to satisfy two conditions: (a) They are to be attached to positions and offices open to all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity; and (b), they are to be to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged members of society. (Rawls 1993, pp. 5–6. The principles are numbered as they were in Rawls' original
A Theory of Justice
.)
Equality of Opportunity and Luck Egalitarianism
Dworkin proposed that people begin with equal resources but be allowed to end up with unequal economic benefits as a result of their own choices. What constitutes a just material distribution is to be determined by the result of a thought experiment designed to model fair distribution. Suppose that everyone is given the same purchasing power and each uses that purchasing power to bid, in a fair auction, for resources best suited to their life plans. They are then permitted to use those resources as they see fit. Although people may end up with different economic benefits, none of them is given less consideration than another in the sense that if they wanted somebody else's resource bundle they could have bid for it instead.
In Dworkin's proposal we see his attitudes to ‘ambitions’ and ‘endowments’ which have become a central feature of luck egalitarianism (though under a wide variety of al.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Article Critique Instructions
Choosing an Article:
For this assignment, you will choose a research article related to
an area related to child development and write a paper
analyzing the article. The article that you choose must be
5. original research, meaning it should have:
· An abstract
· An introduction (with review of pertinent literature)
· A methods section
· A results section
· A discussion section
After selecting an article, you must critically read the entire
article (possibly more than once). In this context, “critical”
does not mean to criticize in a negative manner; instead, it
means to evaluate or judge the ideas, information, and opinions
of a text based on academic standards. You should attempt to
understand the topic that you choose in relation to the theories,
approaches, and frameworks established in this course, which
may require you to read other related texts.
Writing a Critique:
The body of your paper (3–4 pages) should contain a critical
summary and a personal reflection. In the critical summary, you
must include the purpose of the study, the study’s hypothesis,
the type of research performed, a description of the participants,
an explanation of how the research was performed, and the
results of the research. As you write your critique, be sure to
discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the article’s content and
structure. Remember, analysis requires you to separate the
content and concepts of a text into the main components, and
then examine how these components interrelate, connect, and
influence each other. In your personal reflection, you should
address the following questions: Is the article beneficial to the
discipline? Would you recommend it to others? Did the authors
achieve their purpose? Was it well written and understandable
(structure)? Additionally, your paper should have a title page (1
page) and a reference page (1 page) that cites the article you
critiqued. All sections of this paper should adhere to the proper
APA format.
6. Technical writing tips:
· Keep direct quotations to a minimum (this keeps the format
simple and forces the writer to think and analyze).
· Use formal language—no contractions or informal terms (“a
lot,” “thing,” “hyper”).
· Use past tense to describe all research findings—the events
have already happened.
· Match verbs with nouns and pronouns.
· Edit carefully for punctuation and grammatical constructions.
Christians must be articulate in order to be influential and
persuasive.
