Term Project - Final Version

PrintPrint

This week provides you with your last opportunity to finish revising your term project paper. Make sure you have addressed the issues I pointed out in my review of your first draft. If you have questions about your changes that you'd like me to answer, make sure you ask soon so I have time to get back to you before the due date.

Once you have made it through the edits I suggest, consider the following ideas for enhancing your final project:

  • Include images, links to multimedia, and other content that would help a decision-maker understand the context of your report.
  • Include citations to relevant scientific literature to bolster your arguments.
  • Make sure that the formatting of your report is consistent and elegant - make it look professional.
  • Ask a classmate, colleague at work, or someone else who would be reasonably familiar with the content to read your report and provide feedback.

Term Project - Final Draft Submission Instructions

When you're finished with this assignment, submit your outline to the dropbox I've created for it in Canvas.

Save your files in the following format:

L10_tp_firstinitialLastName.doc (or .jpg or .pdf or .tiff).

For example, my file would be named "L10_tp_rmbeaty.doc" - This naming convention is important, as it will help me make sure I match each submission up with the right student.

Submit your assignment to the Lesson 10 Term Project Final Full Draft dropbox in Canvas. See our Canvas Course Calendar for specific due dates.
