Research Paper Draft Instructions

Research Paper Draft Instructions

You are required to submit this assignment once and it must meet the assignment prompt to be graded. You may make two attempts if you choose. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can help you improve your submission. 

·       If you submit two attempts, your highest grade of the two attempts will be used to calculate your overall grade (so a second attempt can only help you).  

·       After you submit your assignment once, a 2nd Attempt Turnitin assignment link (Optional) will become available. Use this 2nd Attempt link to submit your second attempt. 

·       When resubmitting your assignment, avoid focusing solely on the grader’s draft feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the grader specifically notes. 

You have two attempts on the “Research Draft” assignment and two attempts on the “Research Final” assignment. The “Research Draft” submission should still be a complete paper. 

This writing assignment involves writing the first draft of your Research Paper and Works Cited Page. Once you draft your essay and revise, you may submit it for feedback. The feedback will help make improvements for your Final Draft. 

During Topics 10 and 11 of the course, you will need to revise and edit the final draft of your research paper. You will learn more about the revision and editing process in Topic 10.

Note: You will not submit the final draft of your research paper until Topic 12.
