Final Paper Checklist

Review the checklist below to ensure that you have included all necessary items.

· Does the introduction make clear what the topic is for the paper?

· Does the introduction get the reader’s attention? Have I used a hook or other attention-getting device to lead the reader into my argument?

· Is the thesis statement—the main point of the essay—clearly recognizable in the introductory paragraph?

· Does the thesis statement express a clear point of view on the argument and indicate the reasons for the point of view?

· Is there at least one body paragraph that expands and discusses each reason mentioned in the thesis statement?

· Does each body paragraph contain a clear topic sentence that expresses the main idea of that paragraph?

· Does each body paragraph include paraphrased and cited evidence that support the main idea of that paragraph? Have I made sure not to rely on direct quotations?

· Do the paragraphs move smoothly from one topic to the next and use transitional phrases?

· Is there a conclusion paragraph that summarizes the discussion and may call the reader to action?

· Does the paper incorporate 3 research sources, at least one of which is peer-reviewed?

· Have I provided a citation each time I have used a paraphrase or quotation from the research?

· Does each citation within the paper correspond to a reference on the Reference page at the end of the paper?

· Does the paper meet the word requirement of between 500 and 750 words?

· Is the argument accurate, objective, and non-biased? Does it use persuasive or rhetorical technique (ethos, pathos, and/or logos or other organizational means) to relay the information in the argument?

· Have I used a grammar tool from the Center for Writing Excellence to edit this work?
