Turn outline into rough draft

The Week 3 assignment is the first draft of your academic argument. In this assignment, you will show that you are making progress in all course learning outcomes:

1. Interpret information through close and critical reading.
2. Demonstrate effective use of the writing process.
3. Employ effective academic tone, style, mechanics, and citation method.
4. Integrate relevant source material effectively and ethically.
5. Support a position appropriate to the rhetorical situation.

You will submit a 4- to 5-page (1,000 to 1,250 words) rough-draft essay that is formatted in proper APA style. This rough draft assignment must integrate prior feedback and show improvement from your prior coursework. The rough draft will be evaluated differently than a final draft essay, so pay close attention to the grading rubrics and requirements.

Your argument should be sound, valid, and based upon evidence from at least 5 credible sources. At least 3 of your sources must be scholarly. You may integrate additional information, since your final draft requires additional research. Information and evidence must be integrated appropriately, cited in APA-style, and used with integrity
