Rough Draft Assignment

Your appointment time is (date) ________ (time) _________
Please call if you cannot make your appointment. Please note the penalty described on the syllabus for an unexcused absence from a conference.

The rough draft conference has proved, in recent semesters, to be one of the most valuable parts of the report-writing process. It lets me give you full feedback on what you’re doing, and lets you ask all the questions you want, so that you can write the best possible final report. The conferences will be held in my office. The requirements are as follows:

!Bring a typed rough draft, including all the preliminary and final parts. It doesn’t have to be on a nice printer, or on fancy paper, and it can have rough sketches of your graphics rather than the finished products. But if it’s handwritten, I can’t look at the format very well and help you see what you’ll need to do.

!The draft should have all its parts, including references, even if they are still sketchy (though by this point they should not be). Don’t bring in a blank sheet of paper labelled "Conclusions." This is a waste of time and paper for both of us.

!Bring any raw materials that you have questions about (for instance, how to reflect surveys in an Appendix, etc.). Bring any sources for which you have documentation questions.)
