Doctoral Writing

Topical Introduction Draft and Revisions
This assignment has three distinct parts. Carefully follow the instructions for all parts and submit each as separate documents.

Part I: Appealing to Readers First Draft
For part one, you will write the first draft of an introduction to a topic in your discipline/domain using one of the approaches described by Greene and Lidinsky (2021, pp. 364–373).

Part II: Second Draft Revisions and Annotations
Copy and paste your Part I submission into a new document, and review and revise the introduction, indicating in annotations why the revisions are being made. Note the differences between revising and editing from the textbook (editing will be done in the next part). Submit this Part II revised document as a second draft.

Part III: Editing and Final Draft
Run your second draft from Part II through the free version of the software tool Grammarly. After you upload your document, you can see the details of your overall score and download a PDF report of the initial score.
Edit your document based on the recommendations provided. You must include the PDF report from Grammarly as Appendix A of your submitted final draft.
