  21. Continue…… 7-Too much detail on minor issues, but not enough detail on major issues. 8-Too much rambling -- going "all over the map" without a clear sense of direction. (The best proposals move forward with ease and grace like a seamless river.) 9-Too many citation lapses and incorrect references. 10-Too long or too short. 11-Failing to follow the APA style. 12-Slopping writing.
