Value the process of drafting in producing quality written research.

Throughout this course we have emphasized milestone along the way to the Final Project. You have thought through a good topic, gathered sources, prepared an outline, and now you will submit a rough draft of the paper itself. Even though it is called a “rough draft” maybe it would be better to call it a “first” draft. Make even your “rough” draft as smooth as you can so your facilitator has as much to work with as possible.

You will continue your work on your Final Project to research a topic and present your research in an academic paper. Review the Final Project Guidelines to make sure you are on track!

Your project in its final draft is due next week. Your professor will be reading through your rough draft and highlighting points of strengths and weaknesses.

• This week you must submit your rough draft.
• You are strongly encouraged to use the APA Resources, including the APA Paper Template found in the Student Toolkit linked in the top navigation bar.
