    • Analysis and assessment should be based on verifiable facts and figures and not on students’ speculations or experiences. If students wish to claim Nashville is a cultural destination, they should provide facts or figures that support the claim.
    • When external sources are used, students should provide proper reference information following the APA formatting guidelines.
  • Demonstrate logical structure and good grammar.
  • Avoid long direct quotations that carry little meaning and just fill word counts.
    • Instead of direct quotations, students are expected to provide their own thoughts and feelings through their own voices.
