Self Evaluation

After implementing the feedback your instructor provided for your rough draft, use the checklist below to self-evaluate your work. Remember to be critical-you will be graded on how well you critique your project in its current state. (NOTE: Do not simply answer yes/no. Explain your thoughts in narrative form.)

1. What is the writer’s main purpose or theme? Does the structure of the paper complement its purpose and content?
2. How does the introduction catch the reader’s attention or generate interest in the topic? If it does not, how can this be accomplished?
3. What organization format is used for the body paragraphs? Is it consistently used for all the information? Are any variations justified?
4. Is each main point clearly explained? What type of support is used?
5. What type of support information could be added to clarify the main points?
6. Does the conclusion summarize the main ideas? If not, how can this be accomplished?
7. Are grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, word usage, etc. correct? Did you see any errors that need to be fixed?
8. Were in-body citations and references properly used? Does the paper adhere to APA style guidelines?
9. What is the strongest part of the paper? Why is it good?
10 What can be improved? How can it be better?
