Description: Congratulations! You're ready to submit your final project. By now, you have proposed a topic, narrowed your focus, had a close look at some sources, drafted your work, and reflected on the process. You've also had teachers read your work, suggest improvements, and offer feedback. By now, you should bereadyto submit a polished, complete piece of work.
The final project should be consistent with your area of interest. That means that if you're submitting a paper on climate science, you might include graphs, datasets, tables, or other similar objects. If you're submitting a paper on criminal justice, you might break up your research with titles such as "Introduction," "History," "Analysis," etc. If you're writing a paper on film, you might include screenshots from whatever film you are analysing. If you're writing a historical analysis, you might include images from the period your are investigating.
Whatever you are doing, you are now familiar enough with your topic, your area, and academic writing, that you should feel comfortable making decisions about what to include, how to structure your response, and how to cite sources. Theonlyformatting instructions for this response is that you use the font style, size, spacing, etc., that is listedabove. Beyond that, the world is your oyster.
I'm including some journal articles asexamplesfor the kinds of information you might like to include, or some examples of how academics structure their argument. You don't HAVE to follow these formats, but they should offer some inspiration. This is obviously a non-exhaustive list, but hopefully some of these will becloseto your area of interest. And remember: you've already read through a BUNCH of sources that have given you inspiration for how you'll write your final piece.

Our hope is that, by now, you are more than ready to go with your final response. Don't hesitate to reuse, repurpose, and improve work that you have previously submitted for one of the other four assessments. You are welcome to rework material that you submitted for the proposal, analysis, draft, or reflection.
NOTE: You cannot submit work that you have used in ANOTHER course. That is called recycling and constitutes plagiarism. The final project for WRIT1000 can only incorporate work that you have submitted IN THIS COURSE and DURING THIS SEMESTER.
If you're thinking: hey, this is pretty easy! I've been working on the same task for weeks... well... GOOD! That's the idea. You are going to submit a piece of work that you have tweaked, fine-tuned, drafted, and edited, for the whole of semester. But remember: that means that we are marking you as if you've had all that time to write a good piece of work. Importantly, if you do want to change direction, delete a bunch of old ideas, edit your old work, and really produce something polished THAT IS GOOD. Our work as academicsalwayschanges from the first thing we propose. You might find that your final project is indistinguishable from what you thoughts you were going to produce. Don't fear! That's the process of revision, rewriting, drafting, and submitting. You might have also got itspot onfrom the very beginning. Well, that's good too :)
Good luck, everyone. You've been preparing for this all semester and you have a captive audience. We are SO excited to see what you have produced.
