INSTRUCTIONS
Submit your Course Paper: Draft Assignment to your GRST 501 instructor and receive
feedback, so that you can improve your writing process. All files must be submitted as MS
Word documents rather than as PDFs.
Note: You will also submit the same assignment to the Online Writing Center (OWC) for a full
review prior to Module 5: Week 5 in order to receive your feedback in time to submit your
revisions for this course. See Course Paper: Online Writing Center Feedback Assignment
Instructions for more information.
You must use the approved paper you submitted to on your Course Paper: Approval Form
Assignment and create your first draft of your paper. Your Course Paper: Draft paper must be
four pages of text (including introduction, body, and conclusion), cite at least four sources, and
follow a current format guide (Turabian, MLA, AMA, or APA) in accordance with your selected
discipline. Title pages, abstracts, and source pages are NOT counted toward the minimum length
requirements of four pages for the Course Paper.
In terms of paper requirements, always defer to the specific directions given by your primary
professor who is assigning the paper when the time comes to submit to your other course.
Carefully following your professor's assignment instructions is of paramount importance so that
you will not lose points for failing to follow directions. However, in order to meet GRST 501
Course Paper requirements, students may need to modify the assignment for submission to
GRST, so be sure to observe both sets of requirements to satisfy the objectives of both
courses.
Your GRST 501 instructor will provide feedback on the draft within a week and will return your
paper so you can make your final, improved revision of your paper. Your instructor will score
your draft according to the Course Paper Grading Rubric. Your score on the rubric will not
determine your grade on this assignment. You will earn points on the assignment by fully
adhering to these assignment instructions. You will be required to show improvement from this
original scoring on the Course Paper: Revisions and Report Assignment.
*Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
