Do not use more than one direct quote in your paper, rather you should synthesize the information and explain the argument/article. Do not use contractions in academic writing, do not editorialize in the response papers unless instructed to do so; proofread your work; I expect you to produce good and thoughtful work, and will work with you to improve your writing skills.
