Prepare:

• Complete a semi-final draft of your Week 5 Staff Study.
• Post your Week 5 Staff Study semi-final draft in your team’s forum no later than day three of the module to ensure your team has sufficient time to conduct a review.
• Draft should be posted in Word format with tracked changes turned on.

Review:

  • Feedback includes constructive criticism and/or support.

  • Feedback on mechanical writing issues (APA, grammar, punctuation, etc.) is present, but not the sole basis of feedback.
