Revising Checklist

Should you do more research to find support for certain points?
I feel as though I have enough research done, I might need to refine my points better to make a stronger argument for some of them.
Do you need to reorder the major sections of your paper?
Yes, the order of my paper is still very up in the air at the moment.
Should you rearrange the order in which you present your points within those sections?
I believe my points are in a functional order.
Do you need to add section headings? Transitional paragraphs?
I do not think I will employ section headings. I would prefer to flow my sections together without them.
Have you integrated source material smoothly into your paper?
I think I have done a good job of integrating my source material smoothly into my paper.
Have you chosen visuals carefully and integrated them smoothly into your paper?
I have not chosen any visuals for my paper.
Are quotations blended with paraphrase, summary, and your own observations and reactions?
I think I might have over quoted, and will probably have to go back and paraphrase more.
Have you avoided plagiarism by carefully documenting all borrowed ideas?
Yes, I have avoided plagiarism but have not yet perfected my in text citations.
Have you analyzed and interpreted the ideas of others rather than simply stringing those ideas together?
I have interpreted and analyzed the ideas of all my sources.
Do your own ideas- not those of your sources- define the focus of your discussion?
My ideas are the focus of my paper.
