IOP Part 7: Final Submission
Final Submission
This project served as an introduction to scholarly writing and was designed to guide you through the process of writing an informed opinion work utilizing critical thinking. Throughout your college career, you will be asked to write time and time again and hopefully this experience will provide a foundation to assist you with those assignments.
While specific requirements of a work might differ, the core of scholarly writing and the steps you follow do not. Understanding the assignment; selecting a topic and developing a thesis statement; researching and evaluating sources as credible; and creating an outline provide the template for writing an initial draft and ultimately submitting the final version.
You will also encounter different types of writing depending on the discipline and the level of your education. Regardless, the basis of all scholarly writing is to foster critical thinking skills, and ultimately its purpose is to develop critical communication skills (Edmunds & Waldrop, 2018). Remember, each time you practice scholarly writing in your classes, you are developing critical thinking and communication skills, both of which are vital workforce skills.
It is time to put it all together for your final submission. At this point, you’ll be making those final edits based on the feedback you received from the professor. Take the time to review your work and look for spelling or grammar errors. Make sure your work is organized and in the correct format. Lastly, double-check references and ensure that if you have a source cited in the reference list, it has also been cited within the body of the work.
Assignment Instructions:
1. Review: feedback from your professor and make necessary changes.
2. Submit: Once you have completed incorporating feedback from your professor and made final revisions, submit your work for grading.
