NOTE:

Students, get your paper completed EARLY and submit in Canvas as the assignment “DRAFT of Final Paper DUE”. Please submit a draft of your final paper ONE week prior to the last day of class for instructor review. The draft should include as much of the final paper as you have completed by then. You will submit as a Microsoft® Word® document ATTACHMENT in Canvas. I will review and make suggestions to help you earn full credit on your final paper.

What does that mean for you? It means you must plan ahead and have your paper ready early. By preparing in advance, you also have the opportunity to gain valuable feedback. When you follow the instructor suggestions, you will probably earn a higher grade on your paper. I strongly recommend you take advantage of this opportunity, as the instructor guidance is designed to help you earn a higher grade.

Alternatively, you can submit a draft of your paper in class (at least 2 weeks prior to the deadline, so I can return it to you the next week). Or, you can discuss it with me during office hours. I suggest you make an appointment for office hours, as there may be other students wishing to meet with me during office hours towards the end of the class.

CONCLUSION

Although this may initially seem like a lot to write in a report, it is NOT difficult at all. If you look through your textbook and notes, you will see that everything you need is already at your fingertips. As always, I am here for you. Please REACH OUT if you need help with anything! All I ask is that you reach out EARLY and do not wait until the last minute, okay?
