Your final copy must reflect your draft closely.
As you type your draft at home, word for word, you can make the following adjustments without adding margin comments:
- Correct punctuation (such as a comma, period, or semicolon), spelling, verb–subject agreement (e.g., “he says”), and issues with determiners (“the,” “a,” “an,” “this,” “that,” “these,” or “those”).
- Remove any word or sentence that is unnecessary, repetitive, or confusing.
- Apply suggestions from Word-365 Editor.
Final Process Task (with or without AI): Make at least 10 modifications that require margin comments:
- If you use AI, you can only use the prompts on Moodle.
- Insert a comment for every modification made at this stage of the process, with or without AI. The comment should indicate whether your used AI or not. If you did use AI, indicate which Moodle prompt you used and what suggestion the AI made.
- No more than four words in a given sentence can be corrected, added, or replaced.
- One sentence per paragraph (including the introduction) can be modified beyond four words; you cannot add a new sentence.
Important: Final copies that deviate from these guidelines will not be graded and may receive zero as final grade.
