Common Errors: Instruction Set
Proper way to label your images: Everything should have a figure number and
caption (10-11 point font) below the image. Your caption should point me to what is
important about your image.
Add circles, highlights, arrows, and labels directly to images to show the reader what youre
talking about.
Page numbers, titles, your name: Include but rarely style these. They should be the
same font as whatever else you have.
Be Uniform
Capitalization: Everything but short prepositions(to, for, from, in) and conjunctions (and, or,
but)
Use the same fonts and bullets in the same places/headings and sub-headings. Dont vary.
Bullets for lists where order doesnt matternumbers for chronological lists.
Good job limiting your scope, describing what you are going to address and not
address.
Lists:
Dont include a colon before a list unless what comes before the colon is a complete
sentence.
Make sure you are punctuating your bulleted lists and numbers correctly. They should all
either end with punctuation or all not end with it. Generally, if you use a colon, you have a
semicolon or comma after each member and a period at the end because it is all technically
one sentence.
