Revision Guidelines

Revision Guidelines

Here are the steps you will follow to ensure you get the most out of the revision process.

1. Student-led conference

1. Schedule a meeting with me; Bring the text in question and your essay; Bring something to write with and/or your computer to take notes throughout.

2. Begin the meeting by summarizing the content of your paper, your understanding of my feedback, and your plan for improving the paper. 

3. That will launch our discussion, which will be a more natural back-and-forth.

2. Revise your paper

1. Do not alter the original. Make a copy of the Google Doc, rename it with the word “Revision” before the document title, and go from there. 

2. Revision means “see again” and your revision should be ambitious. 

3. Submit your revised paper 

1. Add a note that describes the changes you made and anything else you’d like me to be aware of regarding the revision. This could be done using bullet points.

1. Note: What you share here is what I will focus on when I regrade your paper. If I don’t notice a significant change or improvement in your work, your grade will not change.

2. Do not submit the revision to the original assignment. I will make a new assignment that asks for your revision.
