Greetings all,
I pushed back the due date for Draft 2 to Monday, April 6th, end of day (from Sunday, April 5th) due to multiple holidays later this week and over the weekend. I will continue to begin my review on Monday morning; however, if you are ready to submit, please feel free to do so.
***If this will give you EVEN ONE EXTRA REVIEW, I encourage you to do that! Please. The hardest part of an independent project is taking the outside perspective to read it from outside and verify flow and alignment.
As I said a few times, the most common issue in Draft 2 submissions historically are listed below to help you:
1. Results do not specifically answer the research questions or are not clear on how they answered the research questions.
2. Results are not cited with the articles/gov documents that were used to create them. (I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW COMMON THIS IS AND HOW INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT IT IS TO CORRECT THIS/VERIFY THIS. Why? Well, this is the whole point of the project: to instruct your readers on how you validly and reliably created a unique, important finding that is valid based on your scientific inquiry/approach.
3. Past tense for both Results, Discussion, and Methods.
4. When students treat this Draft 2 as a full final submission, there is more refinement and preparation in the actual final submission. BECAUSE, although it may not feel like the last review before the very end, this is truly the final review before the final submission.
5. Rarer than the first FOUR, but on occasion, there is a submission that does not have a table or image in the Results, which is required (and easily used again in the poster 🙂
I sincerely hope this helps. I am very excited for each of you to be this far (and this close!).
Gentle Reminder: I will not do a full review before this DRAFT 2 submission, BUT I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS and/or hold a formal or informal meeting (Zoom or phone) to discuss any questions, clarifications you may have!!! All you have to do is reach out and ask, and I am there for you!
