UPLOAD a polished, gradable, final version of Project Two

FILES must be .doc or .docx only.

A major portion of the final grade will be based on the revisions you make between the rough draft and the final (taking into account my comments).

Other portions of the final grade will be based on the same factors as listed in the draft assignment and on the guidelines.

If you submit the same draft as the final copy you can expect to earn a grade no higher than the draft grade (and likely it will be a lower grade without any changes).

It is possible to earn a lower grade on the final version than on the draft if revisions are not effective.

Don't forget that there is help available on campus--during my office hours (see the syllabus) and in DH 210 (drop-in tutoring).

Look at your UniCheck score and report. If you need to make revisions because of what you see there, do so before the due date and resubmit.
