Now it is time to bring the final copy together ... using the feedback from your rough draft and tips from our book.  This is also an opportunity to "enhance" your paper ... see comments below.

Final Draft Tips

* Address my feedback and comments from rough draft

* Add an "attention-grabbing" title to your paper

* APA / MLA formatting ... page numbers, title block, running headers (APA), in-text citations, works cited / reference page. The templates in the research folder will show your the proper format.

* Double check your grammar, spelling, punctuation, noun/verbs, margins, font, indentions, spacing, and get rid of the "things"

* Use the feedback from the word processors ... the green and red squiggly lines are good at showing errors in your paper. 

Enhancements 

Here are examples how you can improve the readability and enhance your paper.  

1) add bullets and number lists, where appropriate

2) add Level 1 and Level2 headers to break up the text ... for this paper you can probably add 3-5 headers. Follow the APA/MLA guidelines for headers, titles and sub-headers. Don't over do it.

3) add supporting graphs and charts where appropriate 4) Shorter paragraphs and shorter sentences to assist with readability

Feedback from Roughdraft

Thanks for your submission.  Great topic, professionally written and organized.  Title page and Reference page is correct following the APA style.  Great job explaining your topic, outlining what the paper will be covering, and using examples.

Just remember to proofread again before sending the final draft.  Great job!

Remember to list all authors' names when you first cite their work and then use the one author's name with et al. thereafter.
