4.5 Final Draft
Now that you have competed your first draft and worked on revising it,
you are ready to rewrite your evaluation essay into its final form.
HOW TO REVISE THE ESSAY INTO ITS FINAL FORM
-
Begin by making global revisions. This type of revision is not specific
to evaluation essays, but a way to revise any kind of essay. In order to
make global revisions, please refer to the checklist
for global revision.
-
Make sure your essay is double spaced with the word count
(between 750 and 1000) at
the end of the essay.
-
Finally, you are ready to edit and proofread your essay. This is where
you spend some time checking for errors in usage, punctuation, and mechanics.
You can also ask someone else to proofread your essay before submitting
a final copy. You can also refer to OWL,
Purdue University's Online Writing Lab, for more help with editing and
proofreading.
Congratulations! Once you've completed the steps
above, you are ready to turn in your essay. Please submit your essay
via the assignment drop box. (Click
here for instructions on how to submit assignments via the drop box.) Please consult
the calendar for the due date. Be sure I receive your essay before the due date or it will
be considered late.
Now, if you haven't already done so, continue on to 4.6:
