eng/220 Comparison-Contrast Essay Final Paper and Presentation

In any career you pursue, the skill of presenting yourself and your ideas will play an important role. Whether in writing, in person, across the conference room, by phone, or across continents, people need to be sold on you as much as they are on your ideas.

Part 1

Revise and finalize the rough draft of the 1,050- to 1,400-word paper you worked on in Week 4 by making corrections from your instructor and any other edits you think appropriate. Ensure that you have included the following:

• A strong thesis statement that is organized so that your comparisons/contrasts are clearly presented; focus on proving your thesis statement

• Support for your claims with credible references, using a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources

  Ensure that your final paper uses correct grammar and punctuation. A variety of sentence

  structures should be demonstrated, as well as appropriate essay and paragraph structure.

  Format your assignment according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines.

  Submit your final corrected paper to the Assignment Files tab.
