Abstract

Midterm Project Essay Instructions: The midterm essay in this course is designed to be worked on over a number of weeks. Each week includes assignment(s) that connect directly to the midterm essay prompts. Read through the directions carefully and reach out to your instructor if you need clarification. Your midterm is worth 20% of your final grade, and it includes material from weeks 1 – 6. The final midterm essay should include eight or more full pages of content organized using the outline provided below. The title page and citations are in addition to your content. To begin work on your midterm essay, create a new document and save it as “midterm essay draft” (or similar). Copy the Midterm Essay Outline below which this provides an outline format with detailed headings and specifics about content to use from each week. This is essentially the “recipe” for your essay. Be sure to save updates as you revise. Next, after you submit your weekly assignment(s), copy the relevant weekly discussion/reflection/essay into your draft. After you submit the assignment in uLearn, copy the same content to your draft. Finally, continue to add/revise materials in this first draft. Set aside time each week to review instructor feedback and revise your draft as appropriate. Week 8 includes time for students to focus on the draft essay as a whole. During this week you will incorporate weekly assignment feedback, update citations, proofread carefully and submit the final version. After you submit, breathe deeply and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done. Your incremental work on this assignment will result in reduced stress and improved performance. You don’t have to stress about last minute research and editing. You will submit your work before the due date and sleep easy knowing you have completed the assignment to the best of your ability.
