This draft summary assignment is a mini version of your final project. It is worth 10% of total course grading. This is designed so that you are given feedback on your outline to fill any necessary content gaps as you do more research and develop your full paper.  This is to make sure that you are starting this and thinking about this early and not waiting to the last minute.

For this draft summary, you will submit a fully APA formatted Microsoft Word document.
There must be at least three reference sources in addition to any research from the e-Text which must also be cited and referenced if used.

The requirement for this summary is to submit  a Word document outline with at least one paragraph for each topic you will be presenting. Basically you need to have at least one paragraph for each sections you are submitting and have the general format of the paper laid out including all sections from the cover page through the reference page.

This assignment will be graded based on including all required sections. In general the same rubric for the final paper will be used, but you will not be held accountable for complete assignments.

The more information that you present in your draft the more prepared you will be for the final submission.
