Tips for Success:

Tenses: if using “ing”, it indicates it is currently occurring; if in the past, typically use “ed”. Paragraphs should be written in the same tense throughout the paper. This paper is written as though you are already doing these things (Clinic III) – do not use “I will…” instead use I am, or I (add present tense verb here)

Run-on sentences occur when listing more than 3 items in a sentence. Example: My work ethic includes justice, beneficience, autonomy, nonmaleficence and veracity. A better choice: I demonstrate beneficience and nonmaleficence while providing dental hygiene services which puts the patients’ comfort and needs first.

No more than one “I” per paragraph.
