The first tip I would suggest for creating an academic document would be to make sure I use the correct font. For example, color, size, and try not to use bold or italics unless necessary. The second tip I would suggest for creating an academic document is do not use the word “you” in an academic document. The reason we should not use the word “you” is because this is using a second person reference which is not allowed in academic writing. We can only use a third person pronoun in academic writing. I think the most important guidelines for formatting an academic document are font styles, margins, spacing, headings, page numbers and headers, and the title page; in reference to the APA guidelines. The reason that I think these are important because the paper will be more organized, easier to read, and the readers will recognize the beginning of a new section. I think the less important guidelines for a business document would be using a title page, page numbers and headers, margins and spacing. The reason I think that these are less important in a business document because in a business document we only usually use the “block format”. For a business document we are trying to write to a workplace to become more professional in a business environment where we interact with others. For an academic document we are trying to write to our instructors and become more successful writers. On that note I have noticed some similarities in both of these documents. The similarities that I have seen are they both have to have headers just in different formats. For example when writing an academic document it needs to be centered uppercase and a lowercase heading with an italics font style. In a business document the header needs to be in the upper left hand in the corner page.
