Effective academic and research writing requires a third-person voice. This SLP will be written in the third person. Do not use any quotations. Refer to yourself in third person as “participant,” or you can write about what the “player” will do, rather than saying “I” or “we.” Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. Note: Failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” for Assignment-Driven Criteria, Critical Thinking and Assignment Organization and Quality of References on the grading rubric.
