- Often present tense
- Even though the research took place in the past, we use reporting verbs in present tense to bring the evidence into the present.
- Use the present tense consistently - don't switch between past and present]]> 2022-03-27 00:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/aigar7/52or915qtqc7p92w/wish/2115168960 aigar7 https://padlet.com/aigar7/52or915qtqc7p92w/wish/2115169302 -

 Passive: subject receives action (ex. The man was bitten by the dog). 

The passive voice is wordy and vague and while the active voice is more direct and clear, which allows a point to be explained in a more concise manner to the reader.

Clever tip to distinguish passive vs. active: If you can add "by zombies" after the verb in a sentence and it still makes sense, then the sentence was most likely written in the passive voice. Therefore, you can switch the sentence structure around to improve clarity and be more concise.

A comma splice connects 2 independent clauses with improper flow

Can use a semi-colon (2 different independent clauses)

Make 2 new sentences

Add a conjunction (e.g. but, if, and)

Depending on context, can use a colon

E.g. Can occur in two "fused" sentences, or in run-ons.

Sometimes students write comma splices when they're trying to be more informal. Written more in terms of how you'd speak rather than how you'd write an academic paper.

Student may have a hard time figuring out if a subject is singular or plural (e.g. with collective nouns: everyone may seem plural but it's singular)

Helping the student understand the perspective of the reader (having the correct subject/verbs makes it more clear and easier to read for the reader)

It may be helpful to show the student through examples, maybe from the students work. 
Find a place where the student did it wrong, show them how to fix it, and then ask them to identify and fix it in another spot
