Tips for Success: Final Project

This week, you will be synthesizing the feedback you received on your work-in-progress draft and all the knowledge that you accrued in this course to revise your rough draft to develop a complete version of your final project.

Below, I have compiled a few tips for success regarding the submission of your final project. Carefully consider these tips as you work on revising your final project this week:

Use comments on your Final Project Proposal and from classmates on your work-in-progress draft as a guide for your revision. This feedback will help you consider and apply revisions to your final project.....
But remember to scrutinize and process feedback that you received into your submission. When revising, it's important to always view/read your project multiple times to consider how you can improve the project along with how you can incorporate feedback.
Don't forget to cite your two peer-reviewed sources within your analysis and in a works cited page at the conclusion of your final project. I will be checking for these sources when grading your final project.
Make sure that you have a clear thesis statement and development of analysis through an investigation of specific formal techniques.
Before submitting, carefully review your final project against the rubric in the Final Assignment
Additionally, review your final project carefully to make sure that you fulfill formatting guidelines. This will also allow you to pinpoint mistakes that could lead to points off.
Give yourself ample time to submit your final project. This is especially true for those completing video essays. Make sure that you account for exporting time, uploading to a website host and submitting the link into the Final Assignment.
Finally, for video essays, make sure that the link you submit is private or unlisted, as it will surely be taken down for copyright purposes. If the video is taken down, I will not be able to assess it.
Take a deep breath and consider all the work you've completed to get to this point. This is a major accomplishment and a significant step forward toward becoming a scholar of film criticism!
