Directions and Rubric for Final Draft —

Please submit the final draft of your paper analyzing a problem in your field of study, with an exploration of the best practices for addressing that problem, and speculation about how your field of study will change in 10-20 years, and what the implications of those changes will be on the problem analyzed in the first part of the paper. Of course, your study of the problem should have a compelling introduction that both introduces the reader to the larger subject as well as hinting at the direction of your specific topic.

Your paper should adhere to the standards of quality academic writing: your purpose should be clear, concise, and consistent; your paragraphs should move the reader through the essay in a logical progression, deepening the reader's understanding of your topic; your claims should be well-supported by careful reasoning and employ sources that will hold up to academic scrutiny; your sources should be properly cited according to the conventions of MLA format; your prose should follow the rules of English grammar, spelling and mechanics; and finally, your words should reflect a powerful command of the English language, with diction being paramount.
