Grad vs undergrad, CC
Transitions are essential, please read
Without transitions, your reader will feel like they are bouncing around from topic to topic within your essay. Rather, a graduate-level piece of writing should flow smoothly from start to finish. Ideas should be organized consciously to build off of one another organically. A graduate-level writer must use transitions both to connect ideas together and to connect each paragraph to the one that follows it. Thus, transition smoothly within paragraphs and between paragraphs. FYI: There is nothing more boring to read than essays that transition using first, second, next, in conclusion, etc. Instead, use organic transitions. Ask yourself, why did I put this idea before this other idea; once you’ve answered that question, you have your transition. For example, "In order to exemplify the finding, an evidence-based practice that speaks about just such a finding should be analyzed." This lets the reader know that they are about to read an analysis in the next paragraph and why the analysis is both important and the logical next step in the essay.
Form a clear convincing conclusion, please read.
After moving from general to specific information in the introduction and body paragraphs, your conclusion should begin pulling back into more general information that reminds your reader of the main points of your argument. Do not repeat your thesis or other information verbatim from your introduction. Don't try to bring in new points or end with a whopper conclusion or try to reinvent the wheel in the final sentence of your conclusion. When you’re done, you’re done. Simplicity is the best strategy for a clear, convincing message.

Three principles to follow so that an informed reader does not think that you are taking credit for words or ideas that are not your own.
1. When you quote the exact words of a source, cite the source (including page #s) and put those words in quotation marks or in block quotation.
2.When you paraphrase a source, cite the sources (including page numbers). Do not use quotation marks, but you must recast it entirely in your own words in a new sentence structure.
3. When you use an idea or method you found in a source, cite the source. If the entire source concerns the idea or method, do not add page numbers.

*If you follow these rules, you will never be suspected of trying to pass off someone else's words and ideas as your own.
