Research Draft

NOTE: You mainly need to work on (A) APA (your source citations are sometimes incomplete in your “References” page, and (B) meeting “Research Requirements” (the Forbes article seems to have “no author” AND is .com as is your Walden resource), and (C) sentence structure and logic to ensure your writing is well organized in a logical format that supports clear, well-written sentences. I urge you to submit your draft to your CSU Success Center. Dr. KNB

Your assignment was graded per CSU’s Grading Rubric for Research Projects as follows:

1. Review of Literature Content: 43/55- The content is sometimes clear, focused and controlled, with some moments where the logic of the review and/or the structure of the sentences can confuse the reader. The reader otherwise can understand the main ideas and purpose for each paragraph and related source summaries.

2. Organization: 13/20- The order and structure move the reader through each paragraph and source summary. The organization could be strengthened to better support the central idea(s) and the development of the topic with more dialogue between research sources.

3. Grammar and style: 6/10- The writing sometimes demonstrates control of standard writing conventions (e.g., punctuation, spelling, capitalization, paragraph breaks, grammar and usage) and uses the conventions to communicate, with a few awkward sentences and some grammar errors meriting careful proofreading and editing. (Proofread by reading your work aloud to sound out possible errors.) (You may wish to review your LBCH p. 95 for features of academic language.)

4. References/Citations/APA: 9/15- The required cover/title page and research source citations are provided, with source material acknowledged and cited but not using APA reference citations and format entirely correctly in both the body of the essay and in the “References” page.

TOTAL: 71/100

Always be sure to revise, proofread, and format your writing according to APA standards following the APA standards located in The CSU Citation Guide, 6th edition located in “Ask the Professor.”
