My name is Brittany Rogers and I am a Writing Specialist in the Office of Academic Support and Instructional Services. Better known as OASIS.</p> <p>We in OASIS are here for you throughout your program, to help you succeed. If you want to develop your writing, APA, or student success skills join me and other writing experts and peer mentors for an OASIS live session.</p> <p>Carnesha Ben: A resource that I highly recommend you check out are the Live Writing Accountability sessions, which are facilitated by a peer mentor. My name is Carnesha Ben, and I am one of the peer mentors for the Office of Academic Support and Instructional Services, better known as OASIS. During these sessions, you have the opportunity to work on any assignment or project that are due within the week. You also get the opportunity to connect with other Walden students. You also will share your academic goals that you will work towards during this session. And you will have an hour and a half to work on those assignments. And at the end, you and the other Walden students will discuss what you learned and what you hope to continue to work on after the session. This is a really great session and a wonderful opportunity to connect with other Walden students. So, we look forward to seeing you there.</p> <p>Brenda Hudson: Hi. I'm Brenda Hudson and I'm a core faculty member here in OASIS, where we offer a wide range of skill support services. Including tailored individualized feedback on your scholarly writing through our tuition-free SKIL workshops and courses. Our instructors are dedicated in providing feedback that will help you strengthen your skills and gain confidence in your writing, all in a supportive environment. We have a course for your every need, no matter where you are at in your scholarly journey. From undergraduate to masters, all the way through your capstone or dissertation. Talk to your advisor for more information or to sign up for our supportive courses, and I hope to see you in the classroom.</p> <p>Laurel Kriigel: Hi, my name is Laurel Kriigel, and I am one of the Librarians here at Walden. Are you feeling overwhelmed when searching the online Walden library? Do you ever wish you could just ask a Librarian a question or receive a personalized response? At the Walden Library you can email a Librarian through our Ask a Librarian email service. This service is open seven days a week, and is available to all students, as well as faculty and staff. You can email about finding articles or locating online journals, or anything Library related. You can expect a response from the Library within 24 hours. Reach out to a Walden Librarian today for help on your research journey.</p> <p>Stephanie Kramer: Hey there. I'm Stephanie Kramer and I'm an Academic Support Specialist in OASIS. Have you had a chance to explore the OASIS website yet? We have resources for using Grammarly, APA, templates, and success strategies. And if you are still stuck, use our Ask OASIS form, submit your question, and receive a response within 24 hours from an OASIS staff member. Check out the OASIS website to learn more about the services and resources available to you. We wish you success for the fall term and throughout your program. And remember, if you have questions, Ask OASIS.</p> </details> </p> <h3 class="modal-title">Welcome to the Fall 2024 term! </h3> <p> OASIS provides you with the support you need to succeed.

height: 4px; margin-left: 0;"> <h2>Introduction to the Form and Style Review</h2> <p>The Form and Style Review is an official step in the doctoral capstone approval process. After the committee approves the completed doctoral capstone study, the chair will release it for review by Walden’s Form and Style editors. The editors read through a large portion of the study for formatting and style, offering suggestions for revision to improve the writing and make sure that the document conforms to APA, Walden, and ProQuest database specifications.</p> <h2>The Form and Style Review Process</h2> <p>The Form and Style Review is conducted by Walden’s Form and Style Editors and is one of the stages of approval during the capstone process. Each dissertation, doctoral study, and project study (capstone) at Walden will go through this process. The Form and Style Review occurs after the committee has approved the final document, and the chair passes it on to our team. </p> <p>After editors spend 6-10 hours on a manuscript, students can expect direct edits, suggestions, and identified patterns of required revisions.. Students will receive two versions of their manuscript: </p> <ol> <li>An edited version of their manuscript with track changes and in-text comments, along with a query letter and checklist for revisions. All formatting changes will be made to margins, pagination, tables, figures, appendices, etc.</li> <li>A mostly clean copy, with track changes accepted for the student and only a few comments for students to address before moving forward.</li> </ol> <p>When we return the document, we will include a cover letter to explain the general types of changes that we have implemented, as well as general comments for improvement going forward. We also include a Form and Style Checklist to help the student with any other changes that need to be made</p> <p>The items listed on the left side of this page are intended to aid students in the capstone writing process as well as provide resources for preparing for the Form and Style Review. We also provide resources on creating a final version after we return the review and support for ProQuest and publication.If you have writing or APA questions about the proposal or final doctoral study, contact editor@mail.waldenu.edu.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div><div id="s-lg-box-wrapper-38884961" class="s-lg-box-wrapper-38884961"><div id="s-lg-box-33070189-container" class="s-lib-box-container"> <div id="s-lg-box-33070189" class="s-lib-box s-lib-box-std s-lib-floating-box"> <div id="s-lg-box-collapse-33070189" > <div class="s-lib-box-content s-lib-floating-box-content pad-left-none pad-right-none"> <div id="s-lg-content-77653227" class=" clearfix"> <div class="bg-span left-gold-border background-slate"> <div class="grid-70-30"> <div> <h2 class="white">Form and Style Office Hours for Students</h2> <p class="white"><strong>Form and Style, editing, and self-editing advice for students writing the capstone.</strong></p> <p class="white">Office Hours provide an informal, group advising setting where students may ask questions and receive advice about APA, writing, grammar, formatting, and general editing and self-editing in the capstone.</p> <p class="white">Students may ask any questions pertaining to writing the proposal or final study. The editor will provide advice and resources. Because this is a group advising environment, individual students will take turns to ask their questions and receive answers. The advisors may address the questions from two or more students at the same time whenever it is possible, in consideration of the time limit or the long turn-around time of some questions. Students who are waiting for their turn can often learn useful information from listening to other students’ questions. </p> </div> <div class="background-white bg-66-center"> <h3>Editors</h3> <p>Learn more about our team of editors. </p> <p><a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/formandstyle/about/editors">Read Full Bios</a>.</p> </div> </div> <p class="white">Please note the following:</p> <ul class="white"> <li>Office Hours are appropriate for brief questions and answers (usually no more than 10 minutes) and the editors do not approve or disapprove any studies during this time.</li> <li><strong>Time permitting, editors can demonstrate MS Word formatting actions, but will not perform editing on student work during Office Hours. </strong></li> <li>An office hours session may occasionally need to be canceled on short notice<strong>.</strong></li> <li>Inquiries about approval and status of current submitted Form and Style Reviews cannot be addressed in Editor Office Hours.
