In our textbook, read “Chapter 9: Proposals and Progress Reports” on pages 233 – 273.
Do Exercise 1 on page 272.
Write a 500 to 750-word memo to Lydia suggesting specific changes to her proposal. The two biggest problems with her draft are organization and writing style, so at a minimum, you need to address those two major topics. (Hint: She is writing a relatively short and informal funding proposal, so she really needs only four sections: Purpose, Rationale, Cost, and Conclusion.)
Revise Lydia’s proposal by incorporating the changes suggested in your memo.
Be sure your memo and revised proposal incorporate all other relevant principles of ethics,
readability, document design, etc. addressed in previous chapters.
Proofread and edit your work carefully.
Save your memo and revised draft as a single MS Word file. Be sure to use the correct file name, e.g., JaneDoeWeek9.docx.
Upload your file by to the Week 9 link in the Assignments & Exams page of Bb by the due date and time.
As I evaluate your assignment, I will ask myself the following questions:
Have you followed the instructions in this assignment sheet, in the textbook exercise, and in the syllabus?
Do your responses show clear evidence that you have read and understood the assigned readings?
Do your responses conform to the criteria listed in the “Grades” section of the syllabus?
