Before you begin to revise for submission of the Research Summary final draft, it’s good to think through what specific issues need to be addressed in your draft and consider all the topics discussed in the Collective Feedback File (CFF). To help you strategically plan your revision, consider each draft individually, and respond to the following:
Identify an issue in the CFF that applies to your draft. How will you revise your draft to address this issue?
Is the purpose of the memo clearly stated and consistently made throughout the document?
Have you focused on a problem at USF or in the local community? Do you have research that explains the local problem?
Are all claims/statements made in the memo supported and/or grounded in research?
Are the connections clear between the research and the claims made? Is the research actually saying what the memo claims it says?
Are the types of research used appropriate for the subject?
Is all data fairly and accurately represented in the text and/or visually?
Is the content and tone of your report tailored to the specific needs and expectations of the target audience?
Is the document in proper memo format with all required headings?
Is all research properly cited in the text of the memo?
Is the Work Cited in consistent, proper format?
