      Click here to go to the Key Writing Assignments-->Draft Research Plan to give feedback to a partner. URL

      You should have posted your Draft Research Plan by 23:59 on 11.06.2021. Click on the link to give feedback to a partner.

      In Session 3, choose another student's entry and give feedback. Start by first replying to their entry with your name so others will know it is taken. (Make sure everyone gets feedback.)
        
          Copy and paste the following questions into your reply for your partner:
        • Does the table of contents include each section of the thesis? Would you add or change anything?
        • How clear was the introduction? Would you add or change anything?
        • Does the introduction follow the Toulmin-Zappen model?
        • Check the sources. Which style guide is being used? Is it consistent?
        • How realistic is the timeline based on the scope of the research?
