Title: Competency Assessment: (CU3M2) Research Paper Second Draft
Course: SkillsCom WR 227 14.0 > Section: Credit Unit 3 Module 2 Visual Elements Revisited

Directions:

In the second draft of your paper you will work on two aspects of your analytical report: visual elements and the conclusions and recommendations section. Be sure to review both Preparing for the Writing Phase (Google Doc) and Analytical Report Overview and Expectations (Google Doc) for details on the minimum requirements for these portions of your report.

NOTE: Even though you are required to include a minimum of two visual elements, depending on your research question and breadth of topic, it is very likely that you will need more than the minimum to enhance the audience comprehension and allow for the deepest understanding of data or other information vital to your report. It is possible to not achieve the minimum 75% competency even though you included the minimum of two elements.

In addition to adding to your report, you should also fine tune the introduction and main body of the report, based upon feedback you received from your Assessment Evaluator. Even though your report has achieved at least 75% competency at this point, your goal as you revise the writing in the first draft is to elevate your report to exemplar standards. Focus your major efforts on any aspect that you did not achieve 3 points or better, but also carefully review and apply all feedback received. This is an essential part of the revision process, and even the most seasoned technical writer will make edits and revisions based on feedback from peers and supervisors.
