This week your task is to finish drafting your paper and to post it to the assignment box for feedback. Along with your draft, you will be coming up with three questions to help guide the feedback you will receive on your paper. Next week you will post that same draft to the discussion board to get feedback from your peers.
Your Draft
This is a valuable time for you. The feedback you receive here can really help you to improve your grade, but it can only do that if the draft you post is your best possible work. You’ll notice that nowhere in these modules has it been called a ‘rough’ draft. ‘Rough’ implies unfinished, or hurried, as if you hadn’t spent months on it, but you have.
If you turn in work that you know has a bunch of problems, then chances are most of the feedback you get will be telling you things that you already knew. If, on the other hand, you turn in a draft that is the best work you could put together on your own, then the feedback you receive is likely to point out things you hadn’t thought about, or didn’t see. You can use the Annotated Sample Student Proposal in the Sample Assignments folder as a guide to help you. Then, before you “show” your draft to others, let it sit for a day, and then use the Peer Review Questions that your classmates will use as a guide to make one last set of revisions.
Remember that your draft is worth quite a few points. It perfect, but it needs to make an attempt to meet the final draft guidelines, so let’s review the guidelines one more time:
The Final Draft:
The draft should easily be able to meet all of those requirements with the exception of maybe the page length, from the work you’ve done leading up to this point. The page length will come with development, and that’s an area where should aim for 8-10 in the draft, though if you fall a little short, you may be able to get some feedback to help you.
