Paper revision

Name:

Instructions: Develop a revision plan for your research paper by answering the following questions about your text. Keep in mind that you will be revising at this point, not editing or proofreading. That means you will need to keep your focus on global concerns (GLOCs) and address how you might approach resolving those issues.

Do you need to further focus your topic? Are you taking on too broad of an issue? How do you plan to address these focus issues?

· Assess whether or not the paper adequately integrates the topic with the literature review.

Does the literature review section of your draft show a gap or niche in the research that your paper then proceeds to fill? Have you integrated your literature review into your research paper draft seamlessly?

· Assess whether or not evidence is presented clearly.

· Suggest specific and appropriate changes to address the identified revision issues.

Is your draft optimally organized in terms of how the argument flows from one point to the next?

· Assess how the paper is organized in terms of how the argument flows from one point to the next.

Is your draft optimally organized in terms of how the chunks of evidence are grouped together and the order in which those groups appear?

· Assesses how the paper is organized in terms of how the chunks of evidence are grouped together and the order in which those groups appear.

Are your points clear and convincing? Are they adequately developed?

· Provide a comprehensively complete representation of the paper's argument.
